Exile in Darkness
by Annalisa Carr
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GENRE: Paranormal Urban Fantasy Romance
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
Heritage
and magic matter to the London covens.
Aristocratic
witch, Isabella Pethany, has heritage but not magic.
Underworld
powerbroker, amnesiac vampire Maldit, has magic but no heritage.
Lukas
Sindis, coven sorcerer and famous psychopath, has both.
Isabella’s
null magic status makes her an embarrassment to her family, but since her
sister was murdered, she is all they have left. Guilt makes her willing to do
almost anything to compensate for her lack of value, but her grandmother’s
proposal to match her with Lukas, in a bid to bring strong magic back to their
bloodline, is a step too far.
When
Maldit rescues a strange witch from hunting vampires, his main concern is to
limit trouble in his territory. Witches are notoriously troublesome, and this
one is no exception. Her proximity slashes through his damaged memory, allowing
him to catch glimpses of his forgotten past.
Drugs
have suppressed Lukas’s magic for almost twenty years, filling him with a
reservoir of trapped power. When he escapes, his magic bursts free, falling
like a tidal wave on Maldit and Isabella, sweeping away the spells paralysing
both of them.
The dark secrets of the London coven are about to explode into
the light of day.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
EXCERPT ONE:
Maldit
woke from his day sleep with a feeling of displacement. He sat on the edge of
his luxurious hand-carved bed and contemplated his bare feet.
I
dreamed.
He
remembered snatches from his dreams, something that had never happened to him
before. Vampires didn’t dream.
He
wasn’t a typical vampire; he’d known since shortly after his birth, when he
heard the sound of his own heartbeat, that he was different. Vampires had no
heartbeat.
My
heart beats. I have a heart.
He
rested one protective hand on his chest.
He
couldn’t remember his making. Vampires lived with their makers, in the original
nest, until they were ready to move on and create their own territory. His
memory stretched back only so far. After that, the past was a high impenetrable
wall.
I
have no maker.
He
lived alone, except for Sandro, and vampires were social animals. If he was a
normal vampire he would have his own nest by now.
I
have no nest.
Loneliness
bothered him for a single beat of his aberrant heart.
He
was nearly three hundred years old (as far as he knew), and powerful enough to
maintain a number of blood slaves, fledglings and young vampires. He had been
born with power. If he was a typical vampire there would be a blood slave
waiting in his bed when he woke; he would be able to feed without having to
leave his home. But he wasn’t a typical vampire, he had never had a fledgling,
he wasn’t a Maker, he couldn’t create new vampires. His blood was warm and now
he had dreamed, and there were no blood slaves in his home.
Who
am I?
He
wanted to scream the words through his city and wake the entire population.

AUTHOR BIO:
Annalisa Carr lives
in the English Lake District with her two cats. She writes in multiple genres,
but has a weakness for paranormal romance and urban fantasy.
As a
child Annalisa wanted to be a scientist, wear a white coat and explore outer
space. She worked as a scientist for a very long time, but never got to fly a
spaceship or even travel beyond the solar system. This was a huge
disappointment given the reasons for her career choice, so eventually she made
up stories instead. Probably just as well, as she is claustrophobic.
Exile
in Darkness is set in the same world as the Children of Poseidon series; a
slightly skewed version of London.
Annalisa
also writes dystopian science fiction under the name ‘Anne Cleasby’.
