Synopsis

For fans of Ali Hazelwood’s Bride and Ruby Dixon’s Ice Planet Barbarians series, an innocent young vampire and a powerful werewolf king are drawn together by an unexpected soul bond in the electrifying start to Kresley Cole’s New York Times bestselling Immortals After Dark series—now with a stunning new cover.

Half vampire, half Valkyrie, Emmaline spent her entire sheltered life hidden among the Lore in New Orleans surrounded by the loving, yet overbearing coven who raised her. All Emmaline Troy wanted was a trip to Paris –to investigate her parents’ mysterious deaths there all those years ago. And to finally have a small adventure and perhaps even a first kiss.

But one crowded city night, as she’s making her way down a street, she’s knocked off her feet by striking werewolf. He’s towering, intimidating, and has an infuriatingly seductive Scottish brogue. And he won’t let her go.

The Lykae King, Lachlain MacRieve, has been imprisoned in the catacombs beneath Paris for over a 150 years by his sworn Vampire enemies, but the scent of his Fated Mate on the streets above gives him the strength to finally escape from his subterranean prison. Lachlain has waited for Her for centuries, and the last thing he expects is the bewitching vampire mix who seems to want only to escape his grasp.

Yet he knows only she can soothe the fury within him and he’s determined to make her his by the next full moon.

As Lachlain convinces the hesitant but fiery Emma to accompany him to his ancestral home in Scotland, the pair will come up against ruthless creatures, ancient evil, and the irrevocable pull of Fate. Will their desire deepen into a love that can bring a warrior to his knees and turn Emma into the fighter she was born to be?

This is my first book by Kresley Cole, and it won't be my last! This book was really terrific. I haven't read a lot of romance books with mythical creatures, but it was quite entertaining. I like that it is written in contemporary time with references to IPods and such. Cool! The love that Lachlain felt for his Emmaline was soooooooooo romantic! I can't wait to read the next book in this series.

This is one of my fav Kresley Cole books. Awesome from the beginning all the way to the end. Feel in love with the characters, hated for the book to end.

Goodreads review by Emily May on July 07, 2011

2.5 Stars simply for the inexplicable need the novel induced in me to keep on reading despite the many reasons not to. I actually find it quite surprising that I didn't abandon the book after the first few chapters featured numerous attempted rape scenes, a control freak of a man (or male, at least)......more

This book had a slow start, but finished with a bang! spoilers Lachlain was crazy out of his mind from years and years of being burned alive and tortured by a vampire horde so for about 1/4 of the book he was a asshat... but as his mind starts to heal and he starts to get to know Emma he feels gu......more

A 1200 year old werewolf is chained to a rock in hell for a century and a half and then tears his leg off to escape so he can find his fated mate who is a tiny half vampire/half Valkyrie (a Valkpire?) and then a bunch of objectively not-cool stuff happens, honesty-and-consent-wise, and everyone hate......more

Goodreads review by mimi (taylor’s version) on March 15, 2025

How couldn’t I not re-read one of my favourite books as a kid with a new cover like this one?! The only thing I have to say is that, as an OV’s story, there's everything one could ask for - especially considering the world-building necessary for the many next books in the series. But as a smut/romanc......more
