Born to a life of privilege in the glory days of 18th-century Versailles, Duchesse Eleonore de Vigneron finds her world quickly turned into one of bitterness and loss during the Reign Of Terror. Charming, vengeful, and immortal, she leads an extraordinary life chronicled by her best friend and faithful companion---her beloved journal. Nearly two hundred and fifty years later, Eleni finds herself in the mysterious bayou town of Aubrey Parish. Rumoured to be a haven for misfits, criminals, and supernatural beings, the Parish provides second chances to those who need them the most. When the Parish's skeletons begin to rise to the surface, nothing will ever be the same. In this sequel to the intricate and evocative "Immortally Beloved", Eleni searches for happiness within the pieces of a chaotic and fractured life. However, the town's web of deceit traps even the most independent of souls, creating a world where no one truly leaves. Will the enticing but tormented vampire find a long-forgotten peace within the haunted town, or is her very existence fated to destroy the fragile fabric that weaves Aubrey Parish together? The exquisite cover design is courtesy of @Avadel (Laine and Aria Nichols).

Sixteen-year-old Evienne de Roussel has dreamed of one thing since she was a little girl. More than anything, she wants to be a part of the glittering court of Versailles, flirt, dance, and wear beautiful clothing like her idol, Madame Pompadour. Time goes on, and on the day of her sixteenth birthday, Evienne learns something shocking about herself that will change her life forever. When family shame and tragedy bring her a new name, a new husband, and a place in Versailles, she quickly learns every dream has a dark side. Evienne meets Pierre de Ailiot, a widower with piercing blue eyes, a dimpled smile, and the most macabre job at Court. Monsieur de Ailiot paints those who are condemned to die, finding beauty and humanity in their final moments. He tries to mitigate the difficulties of his work and his broken heart with his other passion: painting beautiful women. When the two are swept together during the tumultuous demise of one of history's most opulent eras, intrigue and scandal make them both legendary--and works of art some wish to see destroyed.

[Completed] Elysia's life is turned upside-down when she's abducted by supernatural creatures with demonic eyes and threatening fangs. What's worse is she has no idea what it is they want from her, except that it has something to do with a side of her that she's never known. The chances of Elysia getting out alive are slim, but perhaps with a bit of luck and a lot of bravery she can escape with more than just her life. Excerpt: ''What trick is this?'' The creature asked, but it didn't sound like a vicious question. He sounded... confused. When I didn't answer, he appeared in front of me, snatching my face in his hand once more and growling. ''What is that on your back?'' ''I don't know,'' I blindly answered, but corrected myself quickly when his grip tightened dangerously, ''It's a birth mark, the doctors called it a... a Lichtenberg figure. My mother said I was born with it, I swear it, even though it's usually what happens when you survive being struck-'' ''-by lightning.''
