Synopsis

From Ancient Uruk to Victorian London... a tale of adventure, brotherhood, and romance

Alad, an ancient shedu, was born to protect Uruk and its king. But as Gilgamesh descends into a flurry of excess and violence, Alad wants freedom from both his destiny and his best friend. When he and Gil fight over a temple dancer, Gil gives him the space he desires by cursing him into stone.

Waking in Victorian London nearly 4500 years later, Alad immediately recognizes the woman whose caress freed him from the curse. But Charlotte isn't Karu, the temple dancer with whom he was infatuated. They might look alike, but their personalities are very different. Plus, Charlotte gazes at him with heat in her eyes, heat he returns. Wanting her is second nature, but until he knows more about the terms of his curse, all he can do is keep the compelling woman close and hope he doesn't destroy her life in the process of unraveling the past.

Charlotte, a paid companion, is greedy for adventure, even though it will mean her ruin. Besides, who wouldn't want to spend time with the magical creature who shifts into four forms, all of them amazing? Yes, he's a monster. But he's also the kindest, most understanding, most enticing being she's ever met. He makes her fallen past feel unimportant. He gives her a new perspective on what her life could be if she's brave enough to take a chance.

Time spent together in London Society and a trip to Gilgamesh's tomb cements their bond. But can a shedu survive in Victorian England, especially when no one can ever know what he is?

Sometimes destiny can't be denied, even if it has to sleep for thousands of years to get its way.

Monsters have always existed. They walk amongst us or live in the shadows. Hungering. Craving. Looking for love. Are you ready to meet these swoon-worthy specters and creatures of the night? It's time for monsters...

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Roslyn writes from the comfort of her sunroom, dog at hand to interrupt as much as caninely possible. Her life is pretty normal: husband, son, dog that thinks he's a cat, and endless bills, which is probably why her imagination goes right to archangels, monsters, demons, and fated true love, not to mention the darker stuff. No one wants to read about her sink full of dirty dishes. Magick, transformation, and understanding the maligned, however, are her turn-ons, and she hopes they'll be yours, too. One day, she hopes to understand the true nature of this world. Until then, she enjoys creating it.
