Callan Kilkenny, a killer of the innocent and a creature of
the night, is searching for the cure to his horrible
affliction. He despises what he's become, so Callan travels
from England to Scotland in search of an end to his
nightmares. He believes a doctor and his daughter have the
answer he's craving -- the chance to become human again.
Jane Blundell and her father, Dr. James Blundell, are
outcasts of Urquhart Valley, Scotland. Jane is infected by
vampire blood, so her father is dedicating his life work of
blood transfusion to help find the cure to his daughter's
illness. Jane is becoming more aware of the changes she's
experiencing, but when Callan arrives at their home and
defeats a vampire who does not want them to succeed in
their quest of a cure, Jane has many questions. She's
unable to resist Callan, as well as her own uncontrollable
urges.
This book is refreshingly dark and brooding. Susan
Squires introduces an interesting version of the
history of vampires and the society to which they belong.
This is a great book, and I recommend it to all vampire
enthusiasts.
Jane Blundell’s keen intellect and wit have always set her
apart from her marriage-minded peers. But such differences
are nothing compared to the change that comes upon her when
she is infected by a blood sample in her father’s
laboratory. Suddenly, her veins resonate with a terrifying,
exhilarating power. Dr. Blundell takes Jane to the Scottish
highlands where she collides with the only man who can
understand her hunger—and slake her unending desire…
Callan Kilkenny has returned to England from Marrakech,
still filled with self-loathing at the deeds he committed
in the name of a beautiful, depraved vampire. Now that he
has tracked down Dr. Blundell in hopes of a cure he has
also found a kindred spirit in Jane. Her passion and her
blood calls to Callan, fueling a carnal need that shocks
them both with its intensity. But others have come in
search of the cure, too…for reasons that are sinister and
deadly. And to save Jane and the rest of their kind, Callan
must risk everything—even his last chance at redemption…
