SummaryImmortality has a way of changing fate. Merrick, dark
elfin King of Valdis, had once been heir to all that was
good - happiness and pleasure his domain.Now, trapped as
the ruler of mischief, king of necessary evil, he stands
on a precipice of choice. On one side, his estranged
brother, now ruler of what should have been Merrick's and,
on the other, King Lucien of the Damned. Both would sway
him. Damnation is winning.
Lady Juliana of Bellemare is from a human family,
protected by the blessed, coveted by the damned. Betrothed
to an old friend of ! her father's, Juliana is resigned to
living out her days close to her childhood home, longing
for an adventure, never dreaming she'd get what she wished
for. When her fiancé is murdered and the children of
Bellemare are stolen, Juliana is sent on a quest in a
strange realm where appearances are deceiving.
Merrick brings more adventure and passion than any woman
could want. Can she withstand the temptations of the
unblessed king? The spell she weaves over him is more than
he can resist and, desperate to be the one to rule her,
Merrick offers her a choice; either come with him until he
tires of her...or die.
