In the Blood

DANTE LIVES. Vampire. Rock star. Begotten son of the fallen angel Lucien. Dante Baptiste still struggles with nightmares and seizures searching for the truth about his past. It is a quest as seductive as his kiss as uncontrollable as his thirst and as unforgiving as his determination to protect one mortal woman at any cost. KNOWLEDGE KILLS. FBI Special Agent Heather Wallace now knows the extent of the Bureau corruption that surrounds her but worries she is losing the battle. And when Dante and his band Inferno come to Seattle on tour Heather cant help but be drawn back to the beautiful dangerous nightkind. But what Heather and Dante dont know is that new enemies lurk in the shadows closer than they think...and even deadlier than they fear. DESTINY UNFOLDS. Shadowy government forces have pledged to eliminate all loose ends from Project Bad Seed -- and Heather and Dante are at the top of the list. Elsewhere the Fallen gather in Gehenna intent on finding their long-awaited savior the True Blood nightkind whom Lucien DeNoir would die to protect. And a damaged and desperate adversary with powers as strange and perilous as Dantes own plots to use Dante as a pawn in a violent scheme for revenge. But only one of these lethal forces holds the key to Dantes past -- a key that could finally unlock the secret of his birth and the truth of his existence...or destroy him completely.
