Bienvenue to dark streets where nightkind hunt, and above in the star-pricked
skies one hears the rush of wings...
Begin the journey with A RUSH OF WINGS.
HIS NAME IS DANTE.
Dark. Talented. Beautiful. Star of the rock band Inferno. Rumored owner of the
hot New Orleans nightspot called Club Hell. Born of the Blood, then broken by an
evil beyond imagination.
HIS PAST IS A MYSTERY.
FBI Special Agent Heather Wallace has been tracking a sadistic serial
murderer known as the Cross Country Killer...and the trail has led her to New
Orleans, Club Hell, and Dante. But the dangerously attractive musician not only
resists her investigation, he claims to be nightkind: in other words, a vampire.
Digging into his past for answers reveals little. A juvenile record a mile long.
No social security number. No known birth date. In and out of foster homes for
most of his life before being taken in by a man named Lucien De Noir, who
appears to guard mysteries of his own.
HIS FUTURE IS CHAOS.
What Heather does know about Dante is that something links him to the killer --
and she's pretty sure that link makes him the CCK's next target. Heather must
unravel the truth behind this sensual, complicated, vulnerable young man --
who, she begins to believe, may indeed be a vampire -- in order to bring a killer
to justice. But what Heather doesn't know is that Dante's past holds a shocking
secret, and once it is revealed not even Heather will be able to protect him from
his destiny...
