Description

Now available only as an eBook, the dark and sexy prequel to the Imnada Brotherhood series about a clan of shape-shifters and telepaths living secretly as humans for centuries.

One very passionate and very scandalous kiss separated university student James Farraday and professor’s daughter Katherine Lacey. Now five years later, James, the new Lord Duncallan, receives an unexpected summons from Kate’s father begging him to come to Wales. When James arrives, he finds Professor Lacey has vanished while studying a mysterious ancient obelisk and everyone blames the nightwalkers; sinister creatures said to haunt the surrounding remote Welsh mountains. Do these legends point to the existence of the Imnada; a race of shape-shifters said to have died off a thousand years ago? Or is the professor’s disappearance the result of a very human villain? James and Kate are determined to find out the truth, knowing it may be the only way to find her father.

Even as they work to unravel the mystery, they find that they’re not the only ones interested in the obelisk and the lost race of Imnada. Treasure hunter Gilles d’Espe believes the ancient dolmen is the focal point of the shape-shifters’ power and would do anything to lay his hands on the last of four silver disks he needs to unlock the dolmen. A disk that hangs around the neck of James Farraday. While Cade, a local villager, is determined to refute both the claims of nightwalker sightings and the power of the dolmen as superstitious nonsense.

James and Kate soon find themselves fighting for their lives. Yet every hour they spend together makes it harder to lay aside the bitterness of the past and a very new and very real temptation…

Reviews

"Complex world-building and compelling characters. Egan's creatures are sexy, soulful and dangerous!"

Molly Harper

Demon's Curse goes straight to the keeper shelf, and I'll make a place beside it for the sequels. One luscious, well told story.”

Grace Burrowes, New York Times bestselling author

"Egan weaves a compellingly dark Regency world of shifters, fey, and passion. A richly layered world with beguiling characters and an intriguing plot. Taut with suspense and mystery, this new series is not to be missed. Alexa Egan promises to be a star of the genre!"

Kathryne Kennedy, critically acclaimed author of The Elven Lords series

"Nothing beats a well-done paranormal historical and this book is better than well-done. Riveting from the first page to the last, it's filled with characters I want to know better. Egan has created a world I can't wait to get back to!"
