AmariFor centuries, I've walked this earth, a vampire king with golden eyes and ancient power, waiting for the one soul destined to be mine. When I found Carla—the Mother of Spiders, feared even in Wintermoon—I knew my search was over. Her magnificent children communicate through images, showing me possibilities of a future together, while others see only monsters to fear. They call her broken because she can't feel our mate bond, but I know better. The veil her children created to protect her hides her true nature, even from herself. I've conquered empires and battled darkness, but my greatest challenge will be earning the trust of this extraordinary woman and the remarkable family she's created. No matter how long it takes, I'll prove that our love is stronger than any magic that keeps us apart.

CarlaThey whisper about me in Wintermoon—the Mother of Spiders, the horror story, the witch with monstrous children. After centuries in the shadows, hunted for what I am, I've accepted my place as an outsider. Then Amari arrived with his infuriating grin and gentle touch, claiming me as his fated mate when I've always believed I wasn't meant to be chosen. My spider children show me visions of him as their father, of us together in ways that make me blush and yearn for something I never thought possible. But there are secrets in my past, pain I've buried deep, and truths about myself I'm only beginning to understand. Can I trust this golden-eyed vampire who looks at me with wonder instead of fear? Or will opening my heart mean risking everything I've sacrificed to protect?

This is a beautiful, dark vampire romance that blends elements of historical fiction and science fiction. Brookstone and Blackburn Enterprises are at it again with their scientific creations, which the supernaturals must work together to take down.
