Lucilla

After defeating Pandora and her Order of Blood, Lucilla travels to New York City to confront Andreas, her former lover and protégé. Overwhelmed by her new surroundings, she soon finds herself hunted by the authorities. As Andreas lays siege on the city, Lucilla must once again enlist Dorian Hunter and Savannah Tillman to help her. Old grievances are put to rest and newfound love emerges as Lucilla prepares for the battle of her life.

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.

After the destruction of Pandora and The Order of Blood, Lucilla races to New York City to face her greatest threat yet. Failing to prevent the resurrection of Andreas, her former protégé and lover, the vampire awaits their inevitable encounter on the island of Manhattan. The events in New Orleans have brought worldwide attention to the existence of vampires, forcing Lucilla to lie low as every law enforcement agency in the country searches for her. With humanity’s fear of the undead pointed directly at her, Lucilla realizes she is in way over her head. As Andreas descends upon the city and wreaks havoc with secret purpose and unrivaled brutality, Lucilla once again enlists Dorian Hunter and Savannah Tillman to aid her. Thought to have finally been rid of the vampire, the newly engaged couple recognize the scope of Andreas’s conquest and reluctantly agree to help defeat him. The only question is how? How does one vanquish an immortal whose skin is impenetrable to everything including sunlight? Tensions mount and emotions run high as Lucilla, Dorian, and Savannah work to resolve their differences while preparing for the fight of their lives. Will their combined efforts be enough to stop the seemingly invincible Andreas? Is Lucilla truly ready to confront her past? And who is the mastermind behind Andreas’s devilish agenda?

Kevin T. Fee, Jr. unleashes this thrilling new tale of lust, terror, and the search for redemption in Lucilla, Temptress of Despair.

Hubris Evokes Strife

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.
