Alexandra Ivy reaches into her past works and reintroduces
MY LORD ETERNITY, the second book in the Immortal
Rogues
series about three vampires chosen to protect the keepers
of three magical amulets. Each amulet is a piece of the
sacred medallion the great Nefri used to create the place
of peace for vampires, known as the Veil. While most
vampires choose to exist peacefully in the Veil, there are
some among their kind that seek out power, race dominance
and stubbornly refuse to abandon the old ways of blood lust
that made them unsafe among humanity. Nefri not only
magically binds each amulet to a human maiden she feels is
worthy of it's keep but also sends a trusted vampire
guardian to watch over the bearers of the amulets.
Lucien Valin is a vampire of pure heart and finds humans
quite interesting. Unlike most of his vampire brethren,
Lucien has a fondness for humans; often finding himself
drawn in fascination to beautiful human females. When he
is chosen by Nefri to be the guardian and protector of
Jocelyn Kingly, he willingly accepts his mission as it
allows him to leave the Veil and return to the world of
humans. Lucien does not anticipate the strong physical
reaction he has to Jocelyn but is further captivated by her
willingness to help those of her kind in need. A vampire
only has one chance at their true mate, and the young
woman that he has promised to protect might turn out to be
the one his immortal soul never forgets.
Chosen by Nefri as a keeper of one of the sacred amulets,
Jocelyn Kingly, once the most sought after prize in high
society, is barely managing to make ends meet since being
disowned by her parents and cast out of her life of
comfort. Trying desperately to make a life of her own
after a devastating social scandal, Jocelyn agrees against
her better judgment to allow the handsome an alluring
Lucien to rent some vacant rooms in her modest London
home. Fueled by her desire to help others, Jocelyn finds
herself getting closer to the charming tenant as he manages
to inject himself quite frequently into her daily routine.
As a keeper of an amulet, Jocelyn soon finds her world
turned on it's head as the evil vampire Amadeus sets his
sights on obtaining her amulet, stopping short of nothing
to achieve his goal.
MY LORD ETERNITY is a well written, classical style story
that takes place in a time long before most of the books in
the Guardians of Eternity series. This book and I am sure
the whole series will certainly remind you of how far times
have come in respect to what was once considered scandalous
and proper behavior. The author provides more insight to
the creation of the Veil, the earlier vampire society and
manages to create a hero that steals the spotlight in most
of the book.
To other vampires, mortals are weak, uninteresting
creatures. To Lucien Valin, they are infinitely fascinating.
Especially Jocelyn Kingly - once the prize of London
society, now an outcast. As the vampire assigned to guard
her, Lucien is relishing his task. But her beguiling
goodness puts her in terrifying danger. Not just from the
traitor intent on claiming her mysterious amulet, but from
the desire Lucien struggles to keep in check. Youthful
infatuation already cost Jocelyn her good name. But even
with little to lose, instinct tells her that accepting
Lucien as a tenant in her home is a devil's bargain. As she
roams London's streets at night, helping the most wretched,
she feels a dark force drawing near. And Lucien - magnetic,
charming, irresistible - may turn out to be her saviour, her
lover, or the means to change her destiny forever.
