Man of War
ByPublisher Description
"While good intentions pave the road to hell, jumping off comes with a price."
For centuries, Marc has served as Evelyn's unwavering protector—a vampire of shadow—unfeeling, fiercely loyal, and a force to be reckoned with. But what of the man?
Man of War unravels the first century of Marc's life. It traces his origins as an impetuous French viscount who finds refuge in service of king and country. Watch as he wages war against the world, those beyond the grave, and with himself. Focus on the women who forged his very being.
Set against the backdrop of seventeenth-century Europe, this dark fantasy immerses the reader in a rich historical, linguistic, and cultural tale. Before reading on, consider: While good intentions pave the road to hell, jumping off comes with a price.
This standalone work welcomes new readers to a narrative that can be enjoyed independently, or in conjunction with preceding novels.
