Fleur Dumont has trained hard to lead her people, training
she should have received from birth as the rightful blood
descendent of the Dumont Vampires. Yet, she was passed over
when her mother died during battle because of an emotional
decision made in the past that caused her people to doubt
her. Now, someone has sent a Mech, a robotic person, to
kill her cousins who've been co-leading the vampires in
Crimson City, once known as Los Angeles. Ready or not,
Fleur must now lead her people and prove to them that she's
worthy of her position.
Dain Reston knows no peace. He works for Battlefield
Operations, a city level division of the Feds known as B-
Ops. Dain's responsibility is to maintain peace on the
streets of Crimson City. A delicate rope of peace ties the
three levels of the city together. The vampires live in the
stratosphere of buildings; the humans live on ground level,
while the werewolves are delegated to the tunnels and
underground levels of the city.
This delicate balance is severed when someone sends the
Mech to kill the vampire leaders. Dain is determined to
discover who has deliberately set off a ticking time bomb.
The vampires are raising arms to battle the humans while
the werewolves are getting unsettled. People are dying in
the streets and evidence is pointing to both vampires and
werewolves.
Dain meets Fleur and instantly feels a pull toward her. He
shouldn't because his wife, a woman he can't remember due
to an accident, was killed by a vampire. Dain struggles
with the guilt of not remembering a woman he apparently
loved, for now that he's met Fleur, she fills his thoughts.
He's restless, feels a dark side within struggling against
a passive side. Dain convinces Fleur to team up with him to
discover the instigator of the war that's on the horizon in
the hope that they can stop the pending disaster
threatening to return them to the pre-treaty ruins of
Crimson City.
Fleur is drawn to Dain even though she fights her
attraction to this human. She was weak before, finding love
with a human and ultimately turning him into a vampire,
thus ruining his love for her. For this breach of ethics,
she lost her leadership rights. She must not repeat this
mistake with Dain; she must not love him. However, fate has
dealt a lamentable hand leaving Fleur and Dain to make
choices that can alter their lives in ways neither would
have imagined.
CRIMSON CITY is the first in a welcome and exciting new six-
book action series that paranormal romance enthusiasts will
really enjoy. It's a world of cultures so different, but so
intertwined, they must learn to live in harmony if they are
to survive. Two strong characters must make choices that
mean personal sacrifice for the good of humanity and are
ultimately rewarded for their efforts.
From the extravagant appetites of the vampire world above,
to the gritty defiance of the werewolves below, the specter
of darkness lives around every corner, the hope of paradise
in every heart. All walk freely with humans in a tentative
peace, but to live in Los Angeles is to balance on the edge
of a knife. One woman knows better than most that death
lurks here in nights of bliss or hails of UV bullets. She’s
about to be tested, to taste true thirst. She’s about to
regain the power she’s long been denied. And Fleur Dumont
is about to meet the one man who may understand her: a
tormented protector who’s lost his way and all he loved.
Theirs is one tale of many. This is Crimson City, where
desire meets danger and more than just the stars come out
at night.
