Immortalis Series, Book 3
Synopsis:
After a few
months as a vampire, Alyssa thought she’d learned all she needed to know about
the supernatural world. But her confidence is shattered by the delivery of a
mysterious package – a Pandora’s Box.
Seemingly
innocuous, the box is in reality an ancient prison, generated by a magic more
powerful than anyone in her clan has ever known. But what manner of evil could
need such force to contain it?
When the box
is opened, the sinister creature within is released, and only supernatural
blood will satiate its thirst. The clan soon learns how it feels when the
hunter becomes the hunted.
Apparently
powerless against the ancient evil, the clan flees Las Vegas for Boston, with
only a slim hope for salvation. Could Lysander’s old journals hold the key? And
what if they don’t?
And how welcome will they be in a city run by a whole different kind of
supernatural being?

Excerpt:
I felt a strange prickling sensation across my skin. The hairs on my
neck stood on end as if electrically charged. The air around me felt as if it
were growing colder, like someone had set the thermostat to zero. A shiver danced
its way up my spine, causing gooseflesh to erupt and spread down my arm.
My kind can always feel another vampire’s presence. This eerily cold
hair-raising sensation felt very similar, yet somehow amplified.
I turned to find Nicholas looking over my shoulder. It was if he had
appeared out of nowhere. I jumped in place, startled by his sudden appearance,
and bit back a curse. His scruffy face was mere inches from my neck, though his
blue-gray eyes, a trademark of the vampire race, were locked on the box in
Fallon’s hand.
“What have we here?” he asked. “Been ordering junk from those websites
again, little human?” He folded his arms in front of his chest. Nicholas wasn’t
a tall man, but he was muscular and looked very formidable and menacing when he
wanted to.
Fallon finished sweeping the ash back into the box and replaced the
lid. “No, the human has not been ordering junk.” She shot him a taunting glare.
Human or not, Fallon didn’t take Nicholas’s crap. Once she learned he
wasn’t going to kill her, it became almost a game between those two: an ongoing
battle to see who could annoy whom the most. It was fun to watch the two of
them go at it, though somewhere in the back of my mind, I wondered if it might
one day go too far.
“Someone dropped this on our doorstep.”
Fallon set the wooden box on the futon and picked up the corner of the
cardboard box it came in, showing Nicholas the big red symbol on the bottom.
“You’re older than dirt, right? Maybe you can read this.”
He opened his mouth as if to make another snarky comment and then
closed it immediately. His eyes narrowed and his brows pulled together in deep
concentration.
That startled me more than the odd chill in the air. Nicholas was
always quick with an answer or some kind of quip. For him to be silent meant
that this, whatever it was, was not the innocuous present I had hoped it would
be, and further confirmed my feelings of unease.
“Thanatos?” Nicholas whispered under his breath, as if asking a
question rather than making a statement.
Fallon and I exchanged confused looks. I shrugged at her and after a
moment of awkward silence, decided to ask the obvious question. “Who is
Thanatos?”
“When did you receive this?” he asked curtly.
“It was on the doorstep when I got home from the store,” Fallon
replied. “I dunno, probably about seven o’clock or so.”
“What was inside the package?”
“Just this.” Fallon dropped the cardboard box and handed the smaller
wooden one to Nicholas.
He took it gingerly, as if he feared to touch the ancient-looking
thing.
“Who is Thanatos?” I asked a bit louder this time.
“Death personified.” Nicholas’s
voice warbled, hinting at his own worry.
