• Book 2 of the Numen Chronicles •   Determined to protect the man he loves, Zalith declares war on the Numen. However, he soon learns that Damien wasn't the only God contending to be Alucard's ruler.    ***   Eight months after leaving to complete Damien's mission, Alucard returns to Dor-Sanguis determined to pursue his feelings for Zalith. When he reunites with the demon, his life is quickly uprooted-this time, however, he doesn't resist.    As the pair rekindle their bond, Alucard repairs the damages caused by Ada's mission to destroy him, and Zalith works on restoring power to the Nefastian government. But Alucard hasn't completed Damien's task and must travel to Avalmoor to find the final angel his boss is hunting. After returning with no leads, Damien-fuelled by his hatred for Alucard and Zalith's growing relationship-tries to tear the vampire and demon apart.   But Zalith resists Damien's authority to save the man he loves, and Damien abandons Alucard, leaving him vulnerable to discovery by the other Numen. It's only a matter of time until they find him, and when a haunting face from Alucard's past comes calling, Zalith must do what he can to protect him.       ❖ For the full guide on Alucard's dialogue accent, head to the author's website ❖
