    About this ebook

    “You’ve never met a vampire like Tyr before. Arcona is in for a shock….”

    While getting her fortune told in a Wiccan shop in Salem, Massachusetts, Arcona’s reality has a screaming meltdown. Her life as a professor of antiquities collides with a past life as a Celtic witch. She’s flung headfirst into magical rites on a sacred island, captured by Romans, and sold in the markets of Pompeii as a pleasure slave to the cruel owner of a gladiatorial school. Seeking revenge against Rome, the old Arcona lures a lonely Dacian gladiator into her bed and uses dark enchantment to transform him into an immortal blood-craving “Slayer,” a warlike vampire to be set loose on the Empire.

    Two millennia and an exploding Mount Vesuvius later, Tyr is still pissed off about being forced to spend eternity as a vampiric mercenary. Desperate to break the Slayer curse, he kidnaps Arcona, intent on learning the secrets carried in her blood. But they’re in for a surprise. Once these two damaged souls share their stories, the possibility of redemption—even love—is offered. When another Slayer tries to claim Arcona as his blood slave, Tyr has to be her hero one last time. He loved her once but can a vampiric Slayer ever forgive his maker?

    Welcome to Villa Lupus Unguis, the house of the Wolf Fang. This is an epic tale of witchcraft, vampires, reincarnation, and a healing act of trust.

    There's a secret hidden deep in that amber amulet...

    Full-length novel, no cliffhanger, HEA.
