Bienvenue to dark streets where nightkind
hunt, and above in the star-pricked skies one
hears the rush of wings...
Begin the journey with A RUSH OF WINGS.
HIS NAME IS DANTE.
Dark. Talented. Beautiful. Star of the rock
band Inferno. Rumored owner of the hot New
Orleans nightspot called Club Hell. Born of the
Blood, then broken by an evil beyond
imagination.
HIS PAST IS A MYSTERY.
FBI Special Agent Heather Wallace has been
tracking a sadistic serial murderer known as
the Cross Country Killer...and the trail has led
her to New Orleans, Club Hell, and Dante. But
the dangerously attractive musician not only
resists her investigation, he claims to be
nightkind: in other words, a vampire. Digging
into his past for answers reveals little. A
juvenile record a mile long. No social security
number. No known birth date. In and out of
foster homes for most of his life before being
taken in by a man named Lucien De Noir, who
appears to guard mysteries of his own.
HIS FUTURE IS CHAOS.
What Heather does know about Dante is that
something links him to the killer -- and she's
pretty sure that link makes him the CCK's next
target. Heather must unravel the truth behind
this sensual, complicated, vulnerable young
man -- who, she begins to believe, may indeed
be a vampire -- in order to bring a killer to
justice. But what Heather doesn't know is that
Dante's past holds a shocking secret, and
once it is revealed not even Heather will be
able to protect him from his destiny...

Adrian Phoenix is fast becoming one of
my favorite authors. Her ability to create a
dark, edgy atmosphere so real you can
see, hear, and taste it, while maintaining a
fast-moving, page-turning plot is simply
amazing.
And as if that weren't enough to draw you
in, Ms. Phoenix has a genuine gift for
creating characters who are both larger
than life and very real. I love Dante and
Heather--and all the secondary
characters, who are as carefully crafted
as the leads--and am already pining for
the next book in this amazing series.
