A vampire rebel ... Vicq is one of the Dresdan—the oldest, most ruthless species of vampire. Scarred by the deaths of everyone he once cared about, he holds himself aloof, impenetrable walls around his heart. His mortal enemy … Elaina hunts vampires for District 5, an underground group with its own shadowy agenda. A seasoned veteran and elite tracker, she has no time for relationships. An instant addiction … Brought together by betrayal, Vicq and Elaina find a passion that breaks all the rules. Now they’re both being hunted—and their forbidden love could be the only thing keeping them alive long enough to learn the truth. \*Prelude is the first book of the Dresdan Coven Trilogy and should be read first.

Elaina was once a tracker of Dresdan, an ancient species of vampire. For years, she served District 5, whose prime agenda is to create a new race of humans. As a result of misguided politics and greed, the District becomes corrupted from the inside out. Before Elaina can expose the truth, District 5 discovers that her blood type contains the elements to create a successful hybrid. She becomes the hunted, but protection is found while in the presence of one vampire… Vicq won’t rest until he destroys District 5 and their immoral experiments are halted. Too many Dresdan have been captured and exterminated, threatening their existence and painting them all as animals. As he plans his attack against District 5, master vampire Russo orders his death for violating a prime law of Dresdan. But Vicq is not ready to cease existing…especially since he’s found salvation with Elaina. With very few on their side, Elaina and Vicq must cultivate a plan to ward off their enemies. In the process, they find lust, love, and new meaning to their special bond. \ This title was previously published, but has been extensively revised and re-edited and includes new and extended scenes. \

They’d sacrifice everything to save each other. A brutal awakening… Now that Elaina knows the truth about District 5, her motives have shifted. But the elite ex-vampire tracker uncovered more truth than she was prepared to know. No matter what it takes, she’ll sort out the mess. Even if it means compromising her safety, she’ll make it her life mission to strike down any foe who gets in the way of her freedom. A connection to the past… Vicq’s days are numbered, but he’s always been skilled in the art of evading capture. He’ll let his guards down and open his heart for one woman only—Elaina. His past has always had a way of catching up to him, but if he wants a peaceful life with the woman he loves, he’ll have to face his demons instead of running from them. Their bond will be tested… Elaina and Vicq know where their loyalties lie—with each other. But there’s a fine line between love and the will to live. They’ll be forced to make a choice that will change their eternal future.
