They were masters of the darkness, searching through eternity for a mistress of the light...

He ran with the wolves...
Materialized from the mists...
Hijacked the very heavens to his whims...

He was the dark guardian of his people. So how, after centuries of a bleak, soulless existence, had he, Lucian Daratrazanoff, suddenly come to crave petite, curvy, colorful lady cop Jaxon Montgomery, who foolishly made it her life's work to protect others from harm?

Fiercely daring, Jaxx would sacrifice anything to shield others—particularly since a deadly menace dogged her every footstep, threatening all who got close to her. And strangely seductive, piercingly erotic Lucian was no exception.

Lucian was powerfully, perilously mesmerizing—oddly gentle yet clearly a born predator. He had vowed to possess her, to guard her for all time. Yet with his every thirsty kiss, was he drawing Jaxon more deeply into danger...and his dark, mysterious desires?

Growing up with telepathic abilities, Sookie Stackhouse realized early on that there are things she'd rather not know. And now that she's an adult, she also realizes that some things she knows about, she'd rather not see—like Eric Northman feeding off another woman. A younger one.

There's a thing or two she'd like to say about that, but she has to keep quiet—Felipe de Castro, the vampire king of Louisiana (and Arkansas and Nevada), is in town. It's the worst possible time for a human body to show up in Eric's front yard—especially the body of the woman whose blood he just drank.

Now it's up to Sookie and Bill, the official Area Five investigator, to solve the murder. Sookie thinks that, at least this time, the dead girl's fate has nothing to do with her. But she is wrong. She has an enemy, one far more devious than she would ever suspect, who's set out to make Sookie's world come crashing down.

Love is like a wormhole. You stumble onto it blindly, it sucks you in and takes you somewhere completely unexpected. You can’t fight it, because that would tear your ship apart. You can’t control it, either. All you can do is set your thrusters on glide and let it take you where it’s going to take you.

Encountering Orynn throws his system out of balance as he tries to decide if he should trust the feelings he is developing, or if he should follow the logic telling him that she is trying to control him for some unknown purpose. Should he keep her at a distance despite his want to bring her near, or should he follow the heart he swears he does not have? As his understanding of her develops, he begins to question all of his preconceived notions about both himself and the universe around him.

On a certain day, on a certain street in the Middle East, the taking of a single life will mean everything, and it will shake the foundation of humanity. It will be the pulling of a loose strand in mankind’s tapestry, undoing the progress of a thousand years, ripping apart at the seams countless lives, countless societies.

Intertwining lives and stories, some saved and some ended, some Going, some Gone…

The novel also focuses on the culture, lifestyle, and the wide social divide that exists among the people of Kanpur.

Synopsis:

An egocentric and personable man with an unforgettable history that could emotionally haunt any ordinary human, Monty, still in his early thirties, remains officially single despite a reputation for plentiful amorous adventures. Internally annoyed with constant cynical jibes about his obscure profession as an independent investigator of petty crimes during the day, but an impeccable lady’s man by night, Monty seizes a sudden, unanticipated opportunity. With the sole intention of silencing the blabbering jokers, he decides to investigate the mysterious murder of a lonely, glamorous girl, with minimal aid from his apprentice and without access to forensic science.

What follows the crime scene investigation is a series of confrontations with perhaps the cleverest and most astute accused individuals, strange events, and confusing outcomes. Did he succeed even before the police and media could break the news to the innocent citizens of Kanpur?
