Lorenz Font | Hunted, Book One of The Gates Legacy

Deep in the heart of New York City's underworld, a horrible disease is ravaging
the vampire community. The Vampire Council is on a crusade to obliterate those
infected, and Harrow Gates is target Number One. The unwitting source of the
plague, he suffers from the same nightmarish symptoms as his victims. The world
he'd been thrust into was cold, cruel, and intent on eradicating him, and the
legions of afflicted vampires he created with his bite.

A bounty hanging over his head, satisfying his hunger has become an enormous
challenge for Harrow. The less he feeds, the more hideous and painful his
lesions become. Constantly running for his life and learning new tricks to
survive, Harrow is in no position to refuse when Pritchard Tack offers him a
unique opportunity. Pritchard not only gives Harrow a new beginning, but also a
purpose and a chance to rectify the chaos he created in the vampire world.
However, the multi-billionaire has an agenda of his own.

Jordan is a reluctant new vampire and a woman on a mission. After the demise of
her family and her own transformation at the hands of Goran, the ruthless leader
of the Vampire Council, her only focus is revenge. Constantly faced with one
frustrating dead-end after another, a stroke of luck leads her to an underground
facility that she suspects is the lair of the monster for whom she is
looking.  

Upon learning more about the truth behind the secret bunker, Jordan must fight
against her growing feelings of friendship and concern for the facility's
inhabitants. One man in particular threatens to pull her heart away from her
sworn mission. There is something behind Harrow's dark lenses that unsettles the
hardened female. Once again, she trembles and hungers for something other than
red-stained revenge. Is love strong enough to override her hate-fueled thirst
for vengeance?

About the Author

Lorenz Font discovered her love of writing after reading a celebrated novel that inspired one idea after another. Hunted, the first book of The Gates Legacy trilogy, is her debut novel. Written in forty-five days, the grueling writing schedule was a personal challenge, even though she thought it was madness at first.

She enjoys dabbling in different genres with an intense focus on angst and the
redemption of flawed characters. Her fascination with romantic twists is a
mainstay in all her stories.

She currently lives in California with her husband, children, and two demanding
dogs. Lorenz spends most of her free time writing while also working as a
Business Office Manager for a skilled-rehabilitation hospital.

Excerpt from HUNTED

"There really isn't a second scenario, we're dead set and conceptually right
about the first one." Pritchard chuckled. Harrow hissed under his breath, unable
to control his hunger any longer. "You need to feed. I know Tor rudely
interrupted your dinner. Intel confirms that needle in your pocket, meant you're
not advocating the spread of the disease, am I right?"

Harrow shuddered before nodding. His could feel his strength fading and there
wasn't a damn thing he could do about it. This human, in all of his infinite
wisdom, should give him his neck and be done with.

"I know what you're thinking Harrow," Pritchard laughed without humor. "I'm not
the enemy here, or your dinner. I will take you to a cell for now, where you
will be fed donated blood until we find a cure for that ailment.  Neither of you
are prisoners here, but until we are certain that you're not a threat to us
humans, you will not be allowed to move around freely."

Pritchard rose to his feet. "Follow me," he told Harrow.

"What about these damn cuffs on our leg, we're not animals you know." Tor said
and his voice thundered through the room.  He was already up on his feet and
facing off with Lambert, who was sporting a push dagger, notably of Dangeran
material.

"They are trackers, in case you are out there," Lambert motioned with his hand.
"We will know how to find you."

"Just like we're dogs, right?" Tor said distastefully.

"Yes, but very special dogs," Lambert said, taunting as he grabbed Tor's elbow
and shoved him forward to follow Pritchard and Harrow.  They were already
walking down the long corridor that eventually led them to a windowless suite.
The furnishings were top-rated, lavish to be exact. There were two king-sized
beds, a state of the art sound system sitting next to a giant television,
expensive looking art adorned the wall, and plush carpeting to boot.
