<p><em>"A darkly delicious hero who had me laughing at his audacity. Vlad is as witty as he is swoony, and as flabbergasting as he is delicious. Five stars!" - KD Robichaux, International Bestselling Author</em></p><p><br></p><p><strong>Eternal, immortal love.</strong></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p> She knew me by another name when the world was young, a name that strikes terror into the hearts of man and monster alike. My wife-the jewel of my kingdom, cossetted in her gardens as a girl and raised to be the perfect queen-dared die in my arms. </p><p><br></p><p>But not until I drew from her an oath that she would be reborn.</p><p><br></p><p>For millennia I have walked in the sun and I have ruled the darkness, waiting. Some might even say I have gone mad in my longing for what fate dared steal from my grasp.</p><p><br></p><p>Until I hear her song and find a treasure buried and forgotten. My Pearl.</p><p><br></p><p>Reborn, delicate, damaged, and afraid.</p><p><br></p><p>I, who love her above all others, she does not recognize. My bride cowers as if I'd bring her harm.</p><p><br></p><p>So she must be wooed, healed, fed, lavished with every pleasure the modern world might offer. She must learn that real love is everlasting, and though I may look every bit the monster, for her, I will strive to be a perfect angel.</p><p><br></p><p><em>THE RELIC contains the darkly romantic culmination of Pearl's HEA, featuring an insane demonic hero who is utterly captivated and sweet as the perfect poison.&nbsp;&nbsp;</em></p>
