The three Haliday sisters are not afraid of mummies. Nor
of silly ancient Egyptian curses. Get real. This is the
twenty-first century! Besides, anthropologist Gemma,
historian Gillian, and archaeologist Josslyn Haliday spent
their childhoods sharing their sleeping tent with mummies
and telling each other stories of fantastic shapeshifters
and vampires, as they accompanied their Egyptologist
father on his digs--ever since the fateful day their mother
mysteriously disappeared into the sands of Egypt twenty
years ago.
Brave, modern women all three, it would never occur to any
of them to fear the dead--or the living dead.
But that is all about to change--
The Immortal Sheikh
Sheikh Shahin Aswadi,the harbinger of death, a ghostly
figure who rides the wind in the form of a powerful black
hawk. No mortal has dared approach his hidden oasis
encampment for nearly a century. They are all terrified by
the ruthless legend of al Shahin.
All but intrepid anthropologist Gemma Haliday. Determined
to find her missing sister, Gemma has foolishly
disregarded the dire warnings of local villagers and walks
straight into a trap Shahin has laid for her.
He takes the beautiful mortal captive, determined to use
her, then gift her to his vampire lord, Seth-Aziz, as a
blood sacrifice.
But one taste of Gemma's lips and he knows he must possess
her for fully and for all time. And he wants her to burn
for him as he burns for her, with a desire as hot and vast
as his desert home.
