This is the story of the immortal, vampire-like race of the monsters of fair form who feed upon the flesh of humans.
Anna von Wessen, transformed into a Lumarian when only an infant, is the beloved adopted child of King Ephram. Strong beyond most others of her kind, she grows quickly into a talented soldier, foremost in the war against her people’s greatest shape-shifting wolves called the Narken. But her world is upset by the accidental revival of Ephram’s true daughter, Princess Vaya Eleria, who was executed long ago for a heinous crime.
Though enemies at first, Anna and Vaya forge an unlikely alliance which leads them on a path to love the likes of which they did not dream existed. But when a terrible secret comes to light, they are set against their own people – and they are faced with the prospect of war from which they may never return.
Allied with new friends who fight in the name of good over evil, they must ask themselves whether their own years of wrongdoing can ever be made right; and whether any measure of good done now can possibly save them from themselves.
I was hoping and praying that whenever that C.M. Blackwood would release another epic story and Death Rock was really worth the wait to fill that scratch of wanting vampires, lesbians and plenty of paranormal into one story! This was such a really great read that it doesn't feel to me at all and it worth It!
Another great and fantastic read from C.M. Blackwood! Five stars or maybe six out of five!
