Armagnac Jardineux, the son of a Louisiana planter family, travels to Europe to study and sample all the pleasures that the Old World has to offer. The Civil War begins back home, separating him from his family and their money. Soon, both are gone. Left alone in London, he drowns his despair in alcohol. The only thing he can do well enough to make a living is play the piano. That is when he meets a young violinist named Lothar Mintze, and his patron, Lord Huntington. The young musicians find themselves dragged straight from the gutter into the tea parties of London’s high society, where they soon begin to appreciate the crowds of admirers, and all the corporeal pleasures that London has to offer. Still, Armagnac finds himself unable to truly enjoy their new-found fame, when he discovers a mystery of the past which binds his grandmother, Blanche Avoy, to Lord Huntington. Could it be possible that the man she describes in her diary is the same man who has become such a blessing and a curse to her grandson, decades later? What mystery bound their families together so long ago? Will Armagnac be able to free himself from Huntington and his friends once he discovers the truth of their secret? “A well-written, saucy, yet tasteful vampire novel, along the lines of Anne Rice’s early works. Especially good for those who like a bit M/M in their reading, but there’s much more to it than that. Well worth the read!” – V. L. Dreyer, author of The Survivors.

Arapaggio – samotny drapieżnik i artysta rozmiłowany w malowaniu nocnych krajobrazów – decyduje się zakończyć swoją egzystencję po tym, jak miłość jego życia przepada bez śladu. Ratuje go nietypowa bohaterka: piękna ladacznica Józefina, polująca na nazistowskich oficerów w szarpanym wojną Wiedniu. Aby okazać wdzięczność, Arapaggio przeprowadza ją na stronę ciemności i obiecuje uczynić Królową Nocy. Czy temperamentna kurtyzana wygra bitwę o jego serce z duchem dawno utraconej miłości? Czy dowie się, kim jest anioł obserwujący ją z portretów, ktoś, kto zostawił malarza z niemożliwą do zagojenia raną w sercu? Tymczasem ów anioł postanawia wrócić do miasta i domu, w którym porzucił ukochanego. Po drodze przez targaną wojną Europę wspomina czasy, gdy spotkał go po raz pierwszy – czasy, w których był jeszcze śmiertelnym młodziutkim sopranistą u progu operowej kariery. Wojenna kanonada przeplata się z echami barokowych arii w tej historii o miłości silniejszej niż czas i śmierć, o toksycznej zazdrości, o zawiedzionych nadziejach i złamanych sercach.

All is not as perfect as it seems.As Lothar falls deeper into bitterness and depression, Thomas can’t help but be curious. He knows that something from Lothar’s past is the reason for his lethargy, something related to the men he’d only heard of in passing. Something to do with the name, “Huntington.” He becomes more and more obsessed with that name, and the stranger it belongs to. Lothar decides that the only way to sate his lover’s curiosity, and hopefully restore peace, is with the truth. The two of them launch off on a trip around the world, to finally introduce Thomas to the other members of his blood family. Along the way, Lothar finally reveals the truth about his past. The whole truth. Will Thomas still be able to stay at his lover's side once he knows everything that the violinist has kept hidden from him, or will those dark secrets tear their budding romance apart?
