A lone soldier on night watch. A single bullet through the heart. Every light in Paris flickers-the city's thundering silent scream.
When Commander Raimond Banitierre was assassinated, French Revolutionaries lost their gallant leader. After a villain's offer of eternal life condemned him to slavery, Raimond rebelled again, driving his vampire comrades to freedom.
Raimond escapes to Savannah, Georgia where his dream of becoming a doctor comes true. During his trial-by-fire residency on the Civil War's battlefields, he discovers his true calling-the power to preserve memories and dignity in the face of death. His chance meeting with a beguiling mortal nurse ignites passionate nights and a long overdue crack in the door to paradise.
Vicious flames and an unholy miscalculation deliver Raimond back to the depths of hell. Being arrested for treason makes him wish for death and the arrival of Prince Draven Norman appears to be the final nail in Raimond's coffin. Will the prince's eccentric judgement grant Raimond a true reprieve? Is Draven's invitation to join New Orleans mystical royalty an extension of his own treachery, or the next step in Raimond's miraculous journey?
Has the legendary Crescent City found a spirit noble enough to protect her future?
