“There is no moon to break the darkness that swallows up the vineyard or to cast even the faintest shadow on the road. Amélie, Alexander, and I are in place on the roof, lying flat, relying on our senses to alert us to anything approaching. We have been here an hour. After thirty minutes, others arrive.

We don’t communicate among ourselves, keeping our thoughts tightly locked away. My blood sings with anticipation. Now that I have committed to the fight, I am ready. It’s been a long time since I tasted the blood of another vampire. Years. Back to the time when I worked as an enforcer for The Watchers and one of my duties was to execute rogues. It was not a duty that I enjoyed, but this, in its way, is no different.MoreLessRead More Read Less
