THE FINAL FIGHT BEGINS"My breath was finally steady again, and though it was the chilliest of nights in Scotland, I was incredibly warm. My ballet slippers were soaked through from the sea water and had little hope of drying in the wet sand, yet they miraculously still held up. I gazed out at the lighthouse, as its beacon of light made its slow rotation in the dark sky. What beautiful magic this was to serve as a beam of hope to some…and as an imminent warning to others."**Don't miss the final installment in this international bestselling trilogy!**

“Hell is empty and all the devils are here.” ~ShakespeareBones. Some bloody, some broken, some way too clean—as if they had been sucked dry. We were surrounded by human bones covering nearly every square foot of this field. In some spots rested full skeletons, jaws open in eternal screams. In other places, only skulls or a rib cage or a leg or an arm had its infinite place on the grass. It was an eerie sight to behold and an even more dreadful thought to how these people had perished, without any mercy. Here we were; in the middle of the immemorial reminder that the vampyres always won. Here we were…tourists in the immortal graveyard for the victims of the undead.Was it our inescapable destiny to lie beside them?

That’s how I won the girl.I’m the nice guy…and I didn’t finish last.”
