Welcome to Inferno, the city where monsters rule and only the strong survive. Each district is ruled by a different species and if you choose to come and dance with these devils, you're never going to be the same again. Mercury Rising, is a standalone novella that is a sizzling vampire tale drenched in bloodlust and revenge, perfect for readers seeking their spice in the shadows. For centuries, Asteria and her lineage have sworn to protect an ancient vampire clan. When tragedy strikes and her family falls to a rival clan's ruthlessness, Asteria seeks vengeance. There is only one vampire strong enough to aid her the legendary Mercury. But waking him from his centuries-long slumber won't be easy, especially with betrayal brewing in his own bloodline. Mercury awakens to a world that has passed him by, and that was never part of the plan. Driven by a desire for retribution against those responsible, he sees in Asteria a key to unlocking his family's treachery. Despite the chaos and violence surrounding them, Mercury is drawn to Asteria, eager to offer her a deadly gift; the heads of her enemies in return for her becoming his forever. Please This novella contains violence, explicit language, and steamy sex scenes.
