The chains of Love are stronger than the bonds of Revenge

Marcus

I've lived an eternity with only one goal: killing the vampire who murdered my wife.

My hatred for the undead it's like a cancer, eating me inside.

I can't feel. I can't love.

After 2000 years, I can finally exact revenge on my enemy, but he holds the life of an innocent woman in his hands.

She's a newly turned vampling.

She should repulse me.

My perfect opportunity to destroy him is right there.

Right in front of me, yet I hesitate...

Diana

I was ready to die.

After a lifetime of misery, I welcomed my death, eager for the pain to end.

But fate has another plan for me.

One that involves a new lease on life as a vampire and a Roman centurion with a heart of stone as a protector.

I am everything he hates.

He is everything I should avoid.

But the attraction is there, burning like a firestorm.

Neither of us can deny it, even if our lives depend on it.
