She trusted a vampire, and now the fate of the world rests on her shoulders.Turned against her will by her ex-husband, Sarah bore a half-vampire child—one her former lover covets for the power the boy holds. She may not have chosen to live an undead existence, but she’d do anything to protect her son, even if it means embracing the growing power within. As mother and child are pursued across … pursued across realms, Sarah discovers her little boy may be just what the magical world needs to bring back fading magic. But, her sire is relentless and she fears she isn’t strong enough to beat back the oncoming storm.
Will she accept the aid of another vampire who might just be the one to mend her own brokenness? Or will she turn her back on everyone, forsaking what it means to be a vampire in the pursuit of giving her son the life he deserves?

This was a great read! I haven’t read a vampire novel in a long time that kept me turning the pages, but this one did it. I can’t wait to read the next novel in the series.
I’m just going to let the writing speak for itself on this one. I’m quickly becoming a huge April Canavan fan! I’m a Fanavan!
Sarah walked away from the corpse with one thought—finally. Finally, she could go back to her son. Feeding from the man lying on the ground like he was trash wasn’t her idea of a good time. Sure, he was a murderer and deserved what she’d done to him, but Sarah had better things to do. Sometimes, being a vampire sucked.
Licking her lips and running her tongue over her shrinking fangs, Sarah could taste the nutrients in his blood and hoped it would sustain her for at least another week. That would give her a week of running from the past. A week in which she could try and give her son the future that he deserved. It was a week she desperately needed to figure out what she was going to do.
“Where do you think you’re going?” Sarah jumped at the voice filled with lust and hatred. She had hoped never to hear it again, but fate, it seemed, had other plans. Alex stood there, taking up too much space in an obvious attempt to intimidate her.
“I thought you told me you would die before I saw you again, love.” Her skin crawled with the way he called her love, and she knew that he wanted nothing more than to tear her throat out. She needed to be strong; anything he said would be a lie. He had proven it in the months that she had been running from him to keep their son safe.
First let me state, I received an Advance Reader Copy, (ARC), but this in no way influences my review. I always leave an honest review. Also, this is my first read with this author & it won’t be my last.
Wow!!! I truly couldn’t put this book down. I can’t wait to read the next story. Sarah had my heart as soon as I started to know her. She was a strong young woman when she met Alex, but through his abuse he changed her. But not fully. She loved her baby boy Jack so much, she’d allow nothing to harm him. Alex was a sick man/vampire. When I first met Winter I was unsure whether i liked her or not, but she won me over. She’s a powerful witch. Zander, who’s a royal vampire & Alex’s twin, is nothing like his sick brother. He & Sarah make a gr8 couple. I recommend this read. 5 Thumbs up.
I loved this book. The author does an incredible job of illustrating the world of magic. You can’t help but root for Sarah, she’s a bad ass.

Sarah was human and a Vampire who was full of himself, named Alex tricked her dousing her drink and food with drugs so that he could have his way all night, he wanted her pregnant. Then he made her a vampire, all of this was a trick that he and his maker planned, but Sarah wasn’t going to let him have there son, Jackson James aka: Jack who was gifted.
