During her quest for justice, Anna-Marie has a chance encounter with a mysterious man; a man whom she quickly becomes friends with. Little does she know this intriguing mystery man of vampire royalty, Alessandro Pierre, has known her for quite some time. Once Alessandro and Anna-Marie's paths cross, both of their lives would forever be changed. With Anna-Marie's heart on the mend she finds herslef falling in love with her mysterious protector, and he with her. Happiness doesn't last long before she finds out about the mysteries of the world and the creatures that lurk in the shadows, but none is worse than finding out the truth about Dylan and the night that he supposedly died. Dylan is not only alive, but also stalking the night as one of the callous Rogue. Anna-Marie's heart breaks with the knowledge that the man she has loved her whole life has become the worst kind of monster. And to top it off, she finds out that she is a monster as well, even if only half. What path will she choose? Will she accept what she is and follow her best friend into the darkness or will she choose the life that has been laid out for her? Will this roller coaster ride that Anna-Marie is on ever end or will it send her flying over the edge?

Anna-Marie and Alessandro work hard to provide a stable life for their only child, Gemma. The child that was bestowed to them by their goddess Ameretat for reasons still unknown. Like Alessandro’s mother did to him, Anna-Marie works diligently to protect her special daughter and lead her away from following in her father’s footsteps in becoming a Protector. Weeks before Gemma’s eighteenth birthday Gemma has a magical night with a boy, Ford Chase, who just may have been “the one”. They laughed and danced and kissed under the moon light. That is before he was forcefully taken away from her by a Rogue. Gemma desperately chases after them, but to no avail. Heartbroken and angry Gemma vows right then and there, despite her parents pleading, she will join the Protector order on her eighteenth birthday and avenge Ford’s death. No one could foresee the events that would ensue thereafter and little by little the gifts that Ameretat blessed Gemma with become apparent and are far more than anyone could ever imagine.

From the Amazon best selling series The Protector comes Dylan's Story. You've read Anna-Marie's story, now I want you to know mine. Of course I'm a vampire, but who likes labels? My human self died, but the man I was is still the man I am. Or at least I try to be, after everything I've ever known and loved has been taken away from me. I may have technically died but I’m not dead and I refuse to give up my life, even if it takes me tag teaming with some unlikely allies to do it. I may not be a human anymore but I am still me; Dylan Williams, a man of substance.
