The Nightman's Odyssey

Listed in the Top 5 authors of supernatural fiction in the Critters Readers Poll (formerly the Preditors & Editors Readers Poll), Tony-Paul de Vissage brings his own flare to vampire romance in this sweeping tale.

Desperate to save the woman he loves, nobleman Damien LaCroix allows himself to be turned by a vampire, only to discover it comes at a higher cost than he ever expected.

A plague is killing Damien's people. As he confronts his own mortality, he receives a dire message from his betrothed. The sickness has overtaken her family, and she fears it will take her next. The thought of losing her is unbearable. He seeks out a vampire to turn him so that he can save Antoinette.

But when Antoinette betrays him with a close friend, she shatters his hopes of eternity together. He vows never to turn another and leaves France with his ancestral home burning in the distance. He travels across Europe, fighting as a mercenary for a time, and gets caught up in the French Revolution.

When he travels to the New World, he finds himself smitten again by a human woman, the kind he'd vowed to avoid. When Kate is accused of murder and likely to be hanged for her crimes, Damien faces a dire choice.
