A Viking vampire must face his tortuous past to save the woman who holds the key to his future.
Eric Wulfgar escapes from twisted dreams, only to find they have followed him into reality. Feeling like a shell of the man he once was, his king’s orders to help a New Orleans vampire clan might require more than he can give. But he has no choice to leave the shadows and return to the living.
Cat Bienville is frantic. Something strange is stalking the vampires of New Orleans. When the missing turn up dead with no explanation and her sire goes missing, she runs out of options. Left in charge of her coven, her duty is to keep her people safe. Only, she’s not prepared for help to come in the form of a chauvinistic male with a tattered soul.
When friends may be foes, Cat and Eric must find balance with one another in order to unveil the evil in their midst, even as a bigger threat darkens the horizon. Yet, Cat’s past may fracture their growing love. For how can she give Eric her heart, when her deepest secret may be more than he can ever accept?
One of those rare breeds, Amber Kallyn is an Arizona native who can trace her family's history through six generations in the state. She lives with her four very active children. Included in the menagerie are four cats (though there's always room for more) and a cute little python.
Eric Wulfgar is a Viking warrior and a vampire. He never gives up even though he has known torture and pain. He will do as his king asks and go to New Orleans to protect Cat Bienville and her vampire clan. The evil is escalating there and many are dying. Can a male chauvinist and a Southern belle find a way to work together and defeat the unknown danger? Amber Kallyn has written a suspenseful novel to continue her Heart of a Vampire series. The story is well written and the plot twists kept me off balance. Try as I might I couldn't identify the villain until they chose to reveal themselves. I enjoyed the characters. Eric and Cat are powerful and determined. They won't back down. They love and fight with all their heart. The ending was satisfying. It came too quickly. I wanted more but all good things must come to an end. I'm looking forward to the next book.
