"A fantastic vampire romance"
In 476 AD near Rome, the desperate widow Octavia introduces
her half-breed son Lazerus to his grandfather Romulus the
Vampyre. She wants her sire to save his grandson's life
for if he refuses, Lazerus will join his father a fallen
angel in death or become a demon. Reluctantly as he had
not done with his mortal daughter, Romulus agrees to
convert Lazerus to a life as an undead under the
stipulation that he change Octavia too so she can teach him
the way of the Nazarene as he has followed. With an heir,
a weary Romulus can enter the sun. In 1095 Ireland Lazerus is married to a tracker Neomina,
keeper of sacred holy icons. Lazerus leads his vampyric
New Breed, but he knows the prophecy is coming that his
grandfather explained to his mother five centuries ago.
The demons that destroyed Rome are back to finish the job
with the only hope for Lazerus and his tribe to survive let
alone win is his wife, but she remains unaware of her power. COME THE NIGHT is a delightful paranormal romantic thriller
that will give immense pleasure to fans of horror, romance,
and suspense. Historical tidbits and religious elements
enhance the exciting story line. The cast is deep and the
key members so developed that angels, vampyres, trackers,
and demons seem almost everyday normal though the
adventures are not. Angelique Armae provides a powerful
vampyric romance that will fully entertain across the
genres. Harriet Klausner

SummaryIn medieval Ireland, an evil entity stalks Lazarus Conlon,
Vampyre patriarch, threatening the safety of his wife and
his family tribe. But to conquer this enemy, Lazarus must
first fight his own demons including a sacred heritage
descended of fallen angels. Amid this strife, Lazarus
learns his only true hope rests within the heart and soul
of a mortal tracker—his wife—a woman born to hunt his
breed. Can his evil antagonist be defeated?
Neomina Delacroix is no stranger to the world of the
Vampyre. As appointed heiress of the Tracker Council and
the keeper of the Amulet of Christ and the St. John Stake,
Neomina's allegiance to her people is sealed in blood. But
the true nature of her heritage has been kept secret for
years, revealed only to her father—Gerard Delacroix—and to
her husband —Lazarus Conlon. When terror strikes the Conlon
Tribe, Neomina is their only hope. Can her heart outweigh
the duties of her soul?
