Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “I wanted to hold him. I wanted to kiss him. I wanted to show him how much I loved him and had missed him. I wanted five minutes, ten, the rest of our eternal lives. I wanted long enough to make love to him, to taste him, to be tasted by him, to reaffirm our Bond. But I felt a Dark shadow above me, all around me, pressing in from every side and every angle, that threatened to cut our time short.” Recovering from the fallout of a vampire virus, Lucinda Monk-Durand, vampire hunter by birth and Kindred to the Champion of the Iunctio, has had to dig deep to keep her fractured heart beating. Her motto, though? Never show fear. Never give an inch. And always stay on guard. But something is slithering out of the shadows in Auckland City and it smells of death and rot and Dark tidings. Add in an Old God who wants to win an eternal war against Ra — due back any day now to cause more havoc — and Luce just knows, these bad guys are going to be deadly. The fact that they’re already dead doesn’t even register on her WTF metre. As the days turn into nights, Lucinda begins to question just where is the God of the Underworld anyway? Using every trick up her sleeve to face this new threat, and keeping a wary eye out for the evil divine being’s return, Luce doesn’t even see the hit coming. But then, she’d never been very good at politics, had she?

Download or read book Never Show Fear Kindred Book 10 written by Nicola Claire and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2020-04-23 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Join familiar, much-loved characters and gain an insight into the KINDRED WORLD with this enthralling anthology of short stories! Included in this collection of exciting tales from the kindred are the following titles and points of view: ON THE WINGS OF AN ANGEL (Amisi's POV) "Nosferatin," he says, and imbues it with power, with his Sanguis Vitam. It calls to me. I dance and spin, and he laughs, and something in his aura sings; a song it has sung before but not for centuries. It is sad and joyous, lonely and complete. It changes everything. . . THE ONE THAT GOT AWAY (Michel's POV) "I lost our daughter," I say with as much dignity as I can muster. Which, in the face of an irate Nosferatin, is very little dignity. I can sense the silver in her jacket's pockets. I can sense Lucinda's need to reach for it. I do the only thing I can think of. I step closer to the danger and swallow the distance between us. "Ma douce," I say softly. . . LET THERE BE LIGHT (Luc's POV) I watch for a few more moments and then step out of the shadows. If Zahra is not aware I am here, then I will eat my stake in a heartbeat. Delaying this meeting only makes me appear weak. Never show fear. Even if it's fear of the woman who entwines your soul with hers, and who threatens to entwine your heart along with it. . . HOME SWEET HOME (Yves' POV) I am alone, but not unarmed. I carry two silver stakes - my most prized possessions - which I wrap my sweaty palms around inside their pockets. My heart beats too fast, and it takes everything in me to remember what I have been taught and to slow it. I stand still in the shadow of a patisserie's stoop and breathe in a measured cadence. The vampire stills too, all but invisible in its shadow. It waits; a patient hunter. . . NEVER SHOW FEAR bridges Part I of KINDRED which ends with DREAMING OF A BLOOD RED CHRISTMAS and Part II which begins with DARKLIGHT.
