The third enthralling adventure featuring Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter

Profikiller Edward ist ein alter Freund von Anita Blake und sie schuldet ihm einen Gefallen. Als in Santa Fé zwölf Menschen rituell ermordet werden, ist sie zur Stelle. Selbst die hargesottene Vampirjägerin ist geschockt von der Grausamkeit der Morde. Beinahe genauso entsetzt ist sie jedoch, als sie herausfindet, dass Edward, den sie bisher für einen eiskalten Killer und Soziopathen hielt, ein Doppelleben als liebender Familienvater führt. Ihre Ermittlungen führen die beiden auf die Spur einer uralten Vampirin, die behauptet, eine aztekische Göttin zu sein, und es wird bald klar, dass die Morde nur der Auftakt des Grauens waren.

Anita Blake takes on a rogue fellow animator who is using human sacrifices to raise the dead and discovers that her only hope of survival lies in depending upon the feared Jean Claude, Master Vampire of the City.

Her former lover had got himself thrown into jail for assaulting a woman. Anita has just a few days to spring Richard and find out who framed him, and why. There's a full moon coming when Richard, a werewolf, will be facing a lot worse.

When a wereleopard is abducted form a seedy club, Anita is plunged into the dark world of shapeshifter crime and werecreature power struggles

Existují různé důvody, proč povolat mrtvého - některé soukromé, jiné veřejné. Tentokrát zemřel svědek ve federálním případu dříve, než mohl poskytnout svědectví. Anita Blakeová se ocitá na cestě do Filadelfie, aby ho oživila. Není však sama - letí s ní Micah, vůdce saintlouiského pardu leopardodlaků. Její milenec a král k její královně, jediný milenec, který jí rozproudí krev pouhým pohledem zelenožlutých kočičích očí. Jeho společnosti si užívá do chvíle, než se Micah zmíní o tom, že to je poprvé, co budou spolu sami. Bez Jean-Clauda, bez Richarda i kohokoli jiného. Jen ona a Micah. A všechny její obavy a pochyby…

I am Meredith Gentry, princess and heir apparent to the throne in the realm of faerie, onetime private investigator in the mortal world. To be crowned queen, I must first continue the royal bloodline and give birth to an heir of my own. If I fail, my aunt, Queen Andais, will be free to do what she most desires: install her twisted son, Cel, as monarch . . . and kill me. My royal guards surround me, and my best loved-my Darkness and my Killing Frost-are always beside me, sworn to protect and make love to me. But still the threat grows greater. For despite all my carnal efforts, I remain childless, while the machinations of my sinister, sadistic Queen and her confederates remain tireless. So my bodyguards and I have slipped back into Los Angeles, hoping to outrun the gathering shadows of court intrigue. But even exile isn't enough to escape the grasp of those with dark designs. Now King Taranis, powerful and vainglorious ruler of faerie's Seelie Court, has leveled accusations against my noble guards of a heinous crime-and has gone so far as to ask the mortal authorities to prosecute. If he succeeds, my men face extradition to faerie and the hideous penalties that await them there. But I know that Taranis's charges are baseless, and I sense that his true target is me. He tried to kill me when I was a child. Now I fear his intentions are far more terrifying. "From the Hardcover edition."

Anita Blake, vampire hunter - sharp, sassy, sexy and good fun, finds she's sharing a bed with the Master Vampire of the city. So it hits close to home when an arsonist begins to target vampire-owned businesses all over the town.

The story follows Meredith Gentry, heir to the Fairie throne, as she leaves Los Angeles to confront the dangers of the Unseelie court. Surrounded by enemies and uncertain allies, she must navigate treachery and deception to secure her claim to the throne.

My guards know this ancient relic well - its disappearance so many ages ago stripped them of their vital powers.This is the world of Meredith Gentry, a twilight world of gods, shapeshifters and immortal souls, a world full of sensuality, wild magic, treacherous deceits and latent powers about to... číst celé
