Redeemer of Shadows
By Michelle M. Pillow
Tribes of the Vampire Series Book #1
Eternity feels endless . . . until her.
From bestselling author Michelle M. Pillow, Redeemer of Shadows is a dark and paranormal romance with sexy vampires, perfect for fans of Filthy Rich Vampires.
Destiny brings them together, while powerful and dark vampiric forces conspire to tear them apart.
Hathor Vinceti has never felt as if she belonged in the world around her, yet she never imagines more could be waiting for her. After moving to London to help an aunt, she uncovers a thriving underworld where bored vampires congregate to feed on ‘deserving’ humans, each trying to outdo the others as they forge their monstrous reputations. What could be worse than immortal beings with nothing to do and forever to do it?
Vampire Servaes, the Marquis de Normant, never asked for his dark gift. He has survived immortality with restrained anger against a master who stole life from him. Not to mention the foolish young ones who abuse their supernatural powers. Eternity seemed endless . . . until Hathor.
As their thrilling and dangerously forbidden love story unfolds, behind the scenes the council rules the eight Tribes of the Vampire. Sometimes their actions are justified, and other times they’re not. When news of Hathor reaches them, they become fearful of what she knows . . .
Redeemer of Shadows is the first book in the Tribes of the Vampire quartet, which continues with The Jaded Hunter.
Perfect for fans of Anne Rice, J.R. Ward, and dark romance lovers craving a seductive blend of gothic intrigue and morally gray antiheroes.
