Talcott
Henderson, dead for over one hundred years old, wants to live again. Enslaved
and abused, he longs to destroy his maker and return to the world of the
living. But first, he must replace himself with someone else. Armed with only a
silver tongue and a fuzzy sense of right and wrong, he sets his sights on Elyse
Delafayette, a lonely melancholic. But Samuel Quartermaine, a vampire hunter
with a dark past of his own, bears a grudge against Talcott's maker, and stalks
Talcott from the shadows of the cemetery walls.
Will
Talcott succeed in convincing Elyse to join the ranks of the undead before
Samuel can stop him?

EXCERPTS
Excerpt from
Nefarious 4.5:
“What are you,
Lucius Marquis?” Sébastien asked. His throat was dry, and his voice was raspy.
Lucius cocked
his head, and his eyes narrowed at his foreordained enemy, assigned to him from
time’s primordia.
“We are two
sides of the same moon. And you’re the dark side.”
Something moved
within Sebastian. He’d been resigned to death in the dark confines of the
abbey. For hours he’d pondered what creature he was, for no one could tell him.
Who was he, and what was he, if not the draper’s son from Montmartre? The
uncertainty and the guilt of his mother’s death, the absolute hopelessness and
mystery of it all made him long for the peace of the guillotine. Now that
someone, or something with answers had appeared, his energy became renewed. His
mind turned. Before he could speak, Lucius continued.
“You are the
unfortunate outcome of an unnatural coupling. Your mother, a witch, and your
father, a vampire.”
Sebastien
tensed, and his jaw ticked. His temples suddenly ached. He wanted to laugh at
the absurdity of it.
Lucius smirked.
“No, not Pierre. He was not your father. Surely you knew.” Lucius feigned an
air of shock and concern, peppering his voice with rich, sarcastic tones. “You
should be grateful he is not your father. That man had a horrible character.”
Leaning down, with his icy breath fanning Sebastien’s face, Lucius whispered,
“and he tasted as wretched as his bleak, wormlike thoughts.”
Sebastien
swallowed hard, and his terror grew.
