The Tide has Turned, and a Secret World is Revealed...

Scottish merchant Baron Christian “Ian” Sinclair longs for solid ground after sailing the Atlantic an extra six months under King Charles' banner. His expectations for a warm homecoming are dashed when he finds his family dead or missing, his estate burning down, and he winds up captured.

Nephtyri, the last of two full-blooded vampires and the great-granddaughter of pharaohs, dreams of Ian long before he docks in London. In exchange for his time and allegiance, she offers to avenge his murdered family, even though they rank highly in the Hunters' Guild—slayers and slavers intent on destroying the magical immortals known as merna.

Her people.

As Ian realizes his undesired role in this hidden war between Hunters and merna, he also learns about the people around him, people who accept him. He and Nephtyri learn they might be from different worlds, but their souls long to be bound together as fated mates.

Ian's decisions will either save or shatter Nephtyri, his newly found family, and the council of all merna, the Arsinoëphorus Alliance. Will Ian Turn against the Hunters' Guild, become a wanted fugitive, and end the war against arcane immortals? Or will he take his place as the Imperial Lord Hunter and bring devastation to all merna?

Extended Main Character Blurbs:

Meet Nephtyri

She's the great-granddaughter of Pharaoh Arsinoë, the ruler who escaped being murdered by her sister, Cleopatra, to become the mother of all vampires. However, Nephtyri sits in exile in London, 1665—not Ptolemaic Egypt. She's also outrunning extinction at the hands of the Hunters' Guild, the final representation of Marc Antony's army on Earth. Nephtyri would be the greatest prize won by these slayers and slavers. So, why are they hiding her and so many other secrets from their heir?

Meet Ian

Born in the human world as Baron Christian Silas Alexander Sinclair, he runs a merchant fleet in the Caribbean for large swaths of time. He longs for something much more—and not just a wife and family of his own. Unaware of what goes on at home when he is at sea, Ian is taken by surprise when he returns from an extraordinarily long voyage to find his home burning to the ground and his family dead or scattered. His trials may lead him to what he longs for but may cost him his human life before revealing the lies his father, Silas the Slayer, took to the grave.
