In 1307, Chapel and five other warriors are on a mission
for King Philip. They are to uncover the secrets of the
Knights Templar and take their riches from them. While
hunting for the treasure, they become mortally injured and
drink from what they believe is the Holy Grail in order to
mend their injuries and save their lives. It wasn't the
Holy Grail they found, though save them it did. What they
had found was the Blood Grail and it transformed them;
from mortal men to immortal vampires.
In 1899, Prudence Ryland is on her own quest to discover
the Holy Grail. She's not after the riches, or the fame
finding the grail would bring her. She wants it for one
purpose; to live. Dying of cancer, Prudence knows of no
other way through which she may survive. Her life is
slowly slipping away and there's still so much she wants
to experience. She knows the grail is her last hope and
she'll do anything to find it.
Chapel meets Prudence when he hears of her efforts to find
the Holy Grail and arrives in order to keep her from
discovering it. What he didn't expect to find was the
love that blossoms between them. Now he has the chance to
offer Prudence what she's been searching for, a full life,
or in this case, an immortal one, all with one kiss. But
will he be able to condemn her to a life of blood
drinking, never seeing the sun and becoming a soulless
creature like he believes himself to be?
Kathryn Smith delivers a top notch vampire novel full of
endearing characters and sensual scenes that'll have you
hooked in no time. BE MINE TONIGHT depicts the lengths a
person will go in order to survive. Chapel's struggle with
defining him immortality as a curse or a blessing is very
touching at times, as is Prudence's fight with cancer. BE
MINE TONIGHT is a wonderful tale that celebrates life to
its fullest and leaves you with an appreciation for the
time you have.
For nearly six centuries I have roamed the night, a mortal
man no longer. Would that I could undo the past -- when I
entered the sanctuary of the Knights Templar to wrest from
them the Holy Grail, only to discover the chalice I raised
to my lips was not the sacred relic but a hellish cup of
damnation. Now I shun the day and all things human, driven
by an ungodly thirst. And yet...
Never have I known a maiden the like of Prudence Ryland,
whose beauty and spirit awaken a heart I feared long cold
and dead. But her young life is slipping away, and she
also seeks the deliverance of the Grail -- unaware that
the cost of her search could be her soul. I must help
Prudence, for in six hundred years, no other woman has
stirred my passions so. But dare I tender to my beloved
that which she most desires -- the sensuous "gift" of
forever that is both rapture and a curse: my immortal
kiss?
