Andreas Reichen's life was shattered with the destruction
of his Darkhaven, and since then he has existed only to
exact revenge on the man responsible. Using his pyrotechnic
powers, not caring that a bit of him dies with each attack,
Andreas systematically annihilates the individual holdings
of Wilhelm Roth, the man responsible for the attack on his
world, not realizing his quest will bring him face-to-face
with a woman from his past he has never forgotten.
Andreas is Claire Roth's first love. Indeed, she has loved
him long after he left her and she became Breedmate to
Wilhelm Roth; she has loved Andreas even after his reported
death in the massacre of his Darkhaven. So it is joy and
relief she feels when he turns up on her doorstep, very
much alive. Claire learns quickly Andreas is no longer the
man she fell in love with; he is now consumed by a fiery
rage, all of it directed at her husband.
The attraction between Andreas and Claire burns stronger
than ever, flaming out of control as they break time-
honored blood bonds to be together, and soon they are on
the run from a man with a soul consumed by revenge. Teamed
with the Order, Andreas and Claire confront a man motivated
by vengeance, plotting with the evil Dragos to take out the
Order and destroy a life-long love.
Lara Adrian's ASHES OF MIDNIGHT, book six of the
Midnight Breed series, gives readers a unique hero in
Andreas Reichen. Possessing a gift unlike any of the Breed
males, he struggles to contain his power before it consumes
him and those he loves. As a Breedmate, Claire also has a
unique gift, a gift she will use to betray the monster she
shares a blood bond with to save the man who holds her
heart. Ever present in the series is the increasing threat
to the Order, Dragos and the Ancient One. And that threat
takes an unexpected turn in this story. ASHES OF MIDNIGHT
is an outstanding addition to the series and will leave the
reader anxiously awaiting the next in the saga.
A woman driven by blood. A man thirsting for
vengeance. A place where darkness and desire
meet...
As night falls, Claire Roth flees, driven
from her home by a fiery threat that seems to come from
hell itself. Then, from out of the flames and ash, a
vampire warrior emerges. He is Andreas Reichen, her
onetime lover, now a stranger consumed by vengeance.
Caught in the cross fire, Claire cannot escape his savage
fury—or the hunger that plunges her into his world of
eternal darkness and unending pleasure.
Nothing
will stop Andreas from destroying the vampire responsible
for slaughtering his Breed brethren . . . even if he must
use his former lover as a pawn in his deadly mission.
Blood-bonded to his treacherous adversary, Claire can lead
Andreas to the enemy he seeks, but it is a journey fraught
with danger—and deep, unbidden desires. For Claire is the
one woman Andreas should not crave, and the only one he’s
ever loved. A dangerous seduction begins—one that blurs
the lines between predator and prey, and stokes the flames
of a white-hot passion that may consume all in its
path. . . .
