When you can't die, how will you live?
Moonlight catches in the small beads of water covering his arms, glinting like tiny ephemeral stars. I reach over and catch one on my fingertip, holding it out in front of me like liquid magic. Alex watches me curiously and then slowly leans down, hovering his mouth over my finger before tenderly licking it clean. I close my eyes and smile.
I have a question, he asks softly.
Yes? I reluctantly open my eyes to look at him.
Why aren't you afraid of me?
Twenty-seven-year-old Sarah Woodward died on a Tuesday. Crushed and thrown into the icy waters of Seattle's Elliott Bay in a horrific bus crash, she should have stayed the fifteenth victim. But something else had plans for her. She resurfaced with silver hair, a flickering reflection, and a terrifying new reality: she can't truly die, she remembers places she's never been, and she can resurrect the dead.
Struggling to accept her immortality, Sarah finds Alex Smith, a wealthy and weary self-exiled vampire who witnessed her resurrection. Exhausted by the burdens of his immortality, Alex is searching for his final death. They are fused together by their fates and fall fast into a dark equilibrium. But when a taste of Sarah's blood restores his heartbeat and grants him temporary humanity, Alex will ask something of Sarah that will either be his redemption or his undoing.
As Sarah and Alex chart a deeply unconventional path, ancient vampires and a secret society interrupt their hopes. The society has been waiting generations for Sarah to return and fulfill her true, devastating purpose. Determined to protect the vampire she loves and stop a murderous, greedy leader, Sarah must fully embrace her dangerous powers over life and death, even if it means losing Alex forever.
Deathless Creatures is a gritty, dark urban fantasy paranormal thriller. It combines gothic romance with elements of supernatural horror and lush imagery. From its compelling protagonists to a high-stakes ending, Deathless Creatures will leave you longing for the next book in this trilogy.
Perfect for fans of the ancient history in Deborah Harkness's A Discovery of Witches and the atmospheric, dark gothic prose of S.T. Gibson's A Dowry of Blood.
