DARKNESS IN THE DISTANCE ☽☼ ☾ CAIUS VOLTURI

*SEQUEL TO "THIN BLUE LINE"*

Leah had only meant to make amends.

When she'd leapt across the battlefield to snap and snarl at the vampire king, she'd only been thinking of freeing Elia. To pay her back for the forgiveness and understanding she'd shown that Leah felt wholly unworthy of.

She never thought she'd find her imprint in one of them. In him.

Now, with the bond to a true monster threatening to split her in two as she struggles and fails to fight it, Leah has to decide what she's willing to risk in the pursuit of freedom.

And whether or not sacrifices made for the greater good are something she can live, or die, with.

Caius went to Forks to exact justice.

To find and punish the female immortal who had dared to love the enemy; to drink her smoldering ash like communion wine.

He found his quarry, had her firmly in his grasp when he was thwarted by damning testimony from his own soldier. And by a discovery so sadistic it threatens to extinguish everything he has ever been or will be.

With enemies rising on all sides, Caius finds himself balancing on the brink of a new era. One that promises either lasting peace or ceaseless bloodshed, depending on which side he throws his weight to.

The only way to survive the road stretched out before him is to change, but stone is unyielding, and it shatters before it bends.
