Melanie S's Reviews > Eternal Legacy

Love is inclusive

Shadowsend vampire clan clings to existence by some very frayed threads. The soul jars could destroy the last of the Elders, weakening the arch-enemy Magnis - but that would also destroy four of their own true allies. Magnis is able to circumvent the their wards at will, and his repeated assaults against Aisling have resulted in her losing all her magic. Desperate, Nicolai, the frenemy of all Shadowsend, calls in every favor, makes every bargain, every promise to the most powerful magic-wielders of all - the Three witches, not of this realm, whose price for intervention is Nicolai's eternal loyalty and complete subjugation. For love of Ash, and to save her vampire lovers and the clan she holds dear, Nicolai makes his final deal, and his ultimate sacrifice. Ahh, but deals with witches are never as straightforward as they appear to be. And Nicolai, ancient vampire Elder, master of trickery and escape clauses, proves a worthy opponent to witches, Magnis, and all monsters who seek to harm Ash. Blazing magic duels, bloody battles, desperate gambles, and the over-arcing power of love light up the pages of this last volume of Shadowsend vampire clan's epic fight for vampire survival. Readers will rejoice - but this voluntary. independent ARC reviewer can't help but feel a niggle of regret to see the last of these fierce, loyal, magical, and *drool, sigh* smoking hot vampire heroes.
