Cruel Immortals

You remember your first love... Even when they come back from the dead.

When Rene Barnett returns to his family's mansion after his father's death, he expects nothing but dust and the weight of old memories. Instead, he finds a boy chained in the cellar beneath the mansion.

Malachi Delaney, the boy who vanished two years ago.

But he's no longer the same boy Rene once knew-he's a vampire now, one of the demons whispered in the town's myths. As Rene struggles with the truth of what Malachi has become and tries to uncover why he was imprisoned beneath his home, he begins to question everything he thought he knew-about his town, his family, and himself. And when another vampire arrives in Saint Rivers, secrets long buried begin to rise, dragging magic, grief, and forgotten history to the surface.

As desire tangles with danger, Rene is caught in a haunting pull between the boy he once loved, and the monster he might become.
