About this ebook

For fans of Ali Hazelwood’s Bride and Ruby Dixon’s Ice Planet Barbarians series, an innocent young vampire and a powerful werewolf king are drawn together by an unexpected soul bond in the electrifying start to Kresley Cole’s New York Times bestselling Immortals After Dark series—now with a stunning new cover.

Half vampire, half Valkyrie, Emmaline spent her entire sheltered life hidden among the Lore in New Orleans surrounded by the loving, yet overbearing coven who raised her. All Emmaline Troy wanted was a trip to Paris –to investigate her parents’ mysterious deaths there all those years ago. And to finally have a small adventure and perhaps even a first kiss.

But one crowded city night, as she’s making her way down a street, she’s knocked off her feet by striking werewolf. He’s towering, intimidating, and has an infuriatingly seductive Scottish brogue. And he won’t let her go.

The Lykae King, Lachlain MacRieve, has been imprisoned in the catacombs beneath Paris for over a 150 years by his sworn Vampire enemies, but the scent of his Fated Mate on the streets above gives him the strength to finally escape from his subterranean prison. Lachlain has waited for Her for centuries, and the last thing he expects is the bewitching vampire mix who seems to want only to escape his grasp.

Yet he knows only she can soothe the fury within him and he’s determined to make her his by the next full moon.

As Lachlain convinces the hesitant but fiery Emma to accompany him to his ancestral home in Scotland, the pair will come up against ruthless creatures, ancient evil, and the irrevocable pull of Fate. Will their desire deepen into a love that can bring a warrior to his knees and turn Emma into the fighter she was born to be?

Ratings and reviews

I love Kresley and her talent for sucking you in to the story is amazing. However, I can understand where the previous comment is coming from. I think IAD may have an issue with how it ages? There’s going to be a whole generation of young women who probably won’t sit well with a couple scenarios. But this book in particular had a touch of a rapey vibe. Not on purpose and definitely not because I don’t like the book. I think the way it ended was beautiful.

I cannot predict what the next scene in Kresley's books...her imagination is beyond imagination... Only in Kresley's books that I can feel the pain and happiness of the characters...it can bleed my heart, I find myself holding my chest bec of the pain and sadness in some part of the story and it also makes me laughed out loud too...in other words it makes you crazy when you read her books.. I BOUGHT ALL HER BOOKS ACTUALLY...AND I LOVE ALL OF THEM SPECIALLY LOTHAIRE ... A HUNGER LIKE NO OTHER AND THE SHADOW CLAIM <--- This one is the first book of Kresley that I read...And I fell in love with the story and with the characters...

so I have an issue with this book, I love Cole but what Lachlan does to Emma is abuse. He basically tries to rape her by getting her drunk so she CAN'T say no, he does stop when she asks but that doesn't excuse the fact he purposely got so drunk that when she drinks from him she would get drunk. Mates should feel safe when they are together in a vulnerable moment, Lachlan purposely makes her vulnerable to take advantage of her showing IMO she isn't safe with him when it doesn't suit his wants.
