Two immortals from warring species save each other’s lives as the conflict rages on.

Years later, Kilani, the fierce, uncompromising Slayer, returns the favor.

Stuck in her remote cabin, their bond grows as Kilani warily nurses her injured Vampyre, determined to deny her growing desire for the man with deep, knowing eyes and mesmerizing fangs.

And, of course, there’s only one bed…

Ratings and reviews

Going in blind, I had no idea that I would be looking into Buffy * Angel's world before vampires, slayers, and demons decided that Sunnydale was the place to be. 😉 Alric & Kilani have a forbidden lovers story, if ever their was. This is Romeo & Juliet amplified, except no dual dramatic partings from their lives. They're immortal, after all. If course, they also have a more electrifying chemistry! 🔥 I really enjoyed this book, written & audio. Narrator Zachary Zaba was great as Alric

The Dawn of Peace is a different kind of vampire romance. Alrick & Kilani are the main character. a vampire and a slayer. I love these characters it 's so taboo, it's delicious. I like the first steamy scene, Oh Yeah - there is plenty of steamy parts. I like how Kilani helped Alrick, I like how they became friend. It's so great that they live in the boonies. This book is one of those that you an get lost in. It's a fun, short and easy read/listen. Give this book a change, maybe you'll like it

Great series starter!I enjoyed listening to Kilani and Alrecs romance from the moment they met over crossed swords to the moment they became a bonded couple. Kilani is a strong woman ahead of her time in a slayer realm that doesn't accept women warriors, and Alrec is the vampire warrior who will never forget her. I love the teasing that ensues as the two fall in love. I'm off to listen to the next book.
