Cains Geheimnis (Scanguards Vampire)
by Tina FolsomDer Scanguards Bodyguard Cain leidet an einer Amnesie, doch der Vorhang zu seiner Vergangenheit beginnt sich langsam zu öffnen, als ein mysteriöser Fremder auftaucht und ihm offenbart, dass er das Opfer eines Attentatsversuchs war. Cain findet nicht nur heraus, dass er ein mächtiger Vampirkönig ist, sondern auch, dass er mit der Vampirin Faye Duvall, die in seinen Träumen auftaucht, verlobt ist. Faye, die glaubt, dass Cain tot ist, ist am Boden zerstört und kann nur weiterleben, weil sie weiß, dass ihr Clan sie braucht. Aus Loyalität und Liebe zu ihren Mitvampiren willigt sie ein, Cains Bruder Abel zu heiraten, und ist erschüttert, als Cain zurückkehrt, um seinen Thron zurückzufordern. Cain ist entschlossen, die Liebe, die er einst mit Faye teilte, zurückzuerobern. Doch der Attentäter gibt nicht auf und seine Skrupellosigkeit kennt keine Grenzen. Unterstützt von seinen treuen Freunden bei Scanguards findet sich Cain plötzlich in einem Kampf auf Leben und Tod wieder und wird vor eine schwere Wahl gestellt: Entweder er rettet sein Königreich oder seine Königin. Lara Adrian, New York Times Bestseller Autorin der Midnight Breed Serie: "Ich bin süchtig nach Tina Folsoms Büchern! Die Scanguards Serie ist eine der heißesten Sachen, die es bei Vampirliebesromanen gibt. Wenn Sie glühend heiße, sich rasant entwickelnde Romane lieben, dann verpassen Sie diese packende Serie nicht!" Über die Serie Die Scanguards Vampirserie ist voll von rasanter Action, brennenden Liebesszenen, witzigen Dialogen und starken Helden und Heldinnen. Vampir Samson Woodford lebt in San Francisco und besitzt die Sicherheits-/Leibwächterfirma Scanguards, die sowohl Vampire als auch Menschen beschäftigt. Und letztendlich auch einige Hexer. Später in der Serie tauchen auch ein paar unsterbliche Hüter und Dämonen auf. Jedes Buch kann als alleinstehender Roman gelesen werden (keine Cliffhanger) und dreht sich immer um ein neues Paar, das die Liebe findet, aber die Serie macht mehr Spaß, wenn sie chronologisch gelesen wird.

For twenty years, Octavian does what he must, and his choices bring him brilliant victories alongside crushing losses. Time and again, he must choose between what is right for all and what is beneficial to him, while hoping for the wisdom to tell the difference.
