HUBRIS EVOKES STRIFE

A VAMPIRE ON THE RUN

After the destruction of Pandora and The Order of Blood, Lucilla races to New York City to face her greatest threat yet. With the world now aware of vampires and every law enforcement agency hunting her, Lucilla becomes a global fugitive.

AN INDESTRUCTIBLE ENEMY

Andreas, Lucilla’s former protégé and lover, has been resurrected. With savage ferocity and unrivaled power, the vampire lord unleashes a brutal, calculated assault on Manhattan, threatening all who dwell within the mighty metropolis.

AN UNLIKELY ALLIANCE

Lucilla must once again enlist Dorian Hunter and Savannah Tillman to aid her. Thought to have finally been free of the vampire, the newly engaged couple reluctantly joins Lucilla’s cause. As tensions rise, this fragile alliance must find a way to defeat a seemingly invincible enemy, confront their tragic past, and expose the shadowy mastermind behind Andreas’s reign of terror, all while humanity’s fate hangs in the balance.

Dorian Hunter

Dorian has finally found peace. Now living in New York City with his new fiancé, Savannah, he looks forward to happier days ahead. That is, of course, until Lucilla comes crashing back into his life. Dorian reluctantly agrees to help her, much to the disdain of Savannah. He devotes himself to stopping Andreas’s nefarious plan while protecting both of his vampire lovers…not only from Andreas and the authorities but from each other as well.

Savannah Tillman

Savannah is over the moon. Not only has she accepted her existence as a vampire, but she is also engaged to the man she loves. Savannah looks forward to her new life, but fate takes an unexpected turn when Lucilla enters her life once more. Still filled with animosity towards her maker, Savannah is against the idea of helping Lucilla. With Dorian’s urging, she begrudgingly joins the fight to defeat Andreas and plays a crucial role in the battle ahead.

Andreas

Resurrected by Vivienne, Andreas sets out on a mission to enslave humanity, which begins in New York City. Gifted with near invincibility and three loyal, vicious vampire brides to aid him, Andreas unleashes his violent assault. With the ability to walk in sunlight unaffected, Andreas’s arrogance continues to grow. He is vain, brutal, reckless, yet alluring. Andreas yearns to confront Lucilla and enact a horrible revenge against his maker.

Remy

Remy is the sole survivor of The Order of Blood. He is obnoxious and cunning. Remy is charged by Vivienne to serve as Andreas’s advisor and handler, which proves to be impossible. Andreas cannot stand Remy but tolerates him as he is the only one who can help him adapt to the ways of the modern world. Remy is loyal to Andreas, but more loyal to himself.

Acadia

Once a human witch loyal to Vivienne, Acadia sacrifices her mortality to serve Andreas. She is as deadly as she is beautiful. As both his concubine and assassin, Acadia serves as an important weapon in Andreas’s war against humanity. She is both the leader and the most savage of the three vampire brides.

Olivia

Olivia was also a human witch who voluntarily turned herself into a vampire as a gift to Andreas. A true specimen of exquisite beauty, she, too, serves as both his concubine and assassin. Olivia is the most nurturing of the three vampire brides, but her brutality is not to be underestimated. She will destroy anyone Andreas tells her to.

Shinako

Also once a human witch turned vampire, Shinako is the quietest of the three brides. This only conceals the cold and ruthless killer that exists beneath the surface. Her violent behavior is second only to her sexy allure. Of the three brides, Andreas finds Shinako to be the most disciplined and dependable.
