By Janine Ashbless

A steamy, addictive, collection of connected stories about vampires. Perfect for romantasy readers who love spice, and for fans of of Sarah J. Maas and Laura Thalassa and Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

In the shadows of desire, even immortals can fall…

In a city cloaked in shadows, six vampires reign supreme. Ageless and hauntingly beautiful, their desires extend far beyond mere bloodlust.

Estelle, the sadistic chanteuse with a voice that will captivate your soul; Ben, the reckless rogue; Roisin, the ethereal mirror-ghost; Wakefield, tormented by his eternal damnation; Naylor, the wild, untamed predator; and Reynauld, the Good Shepherd who keeps their darkest impulses in check.

But Reynauld’s grip on his own humanity is slipping, and when Wakefield accidentally kills a woman and Naylor gets the blame, a power-struggle erupts between the immortal elite.

With alliances fracturing and passion burning, the city’s supernatural teeters on the brink of chaos. And as the line between saviour and monster blurs, the heart’s deepest desires may prove the deadliest of all…
