The Blood Chalice
The Last Sunrise in New Orleans

About the Book

A Story Told in Shadow

New Orleans, 1800s. Paris, centuries in the making. Sébastien Delacroix has walked the rain-slicked streets of the New Orleans for longer than he cares to remember, long enough to know better than to stop beneath a stranger's balcony. But when lightning illuminates Celeste Durand, book in hand, laughing softly at something only she can see, he stops.

She is mortal. She is radiant. And she carries something ancient in her blood that neither of them yet understands. When the Blood Chalice stirs for the first time in centuries, it sets in motion a collision between the living and the undead, between an immortal's careful restraint and the one woman capable of unraveling it. Sébastien knows what the Chalice waking means. So does Lucien — his maker, his shadow, the voice that has followed him since a battlefield in Gascony that told him to drink or die.

The Blood Chalice:is a gothic serialized story that spans centuries and continents, tracing the slow, inevitable pull between a vampire who has spent four hundred years learning to feel nothing and a woman whose truth runs deeper than either of them bargained for. It is a story about hunger and restraint, about the covenant between the living and the dead, and about what it means to finally move forward — together — into whatever comes next. Some things, once woken, cannot be put back to sleep.
