Luca Ambrus is unwillingly drawn into this battle. A powerful agent of the Council, the body that governs vampire-kind, he prefers the solitude of the world he has created for himself. But when a friend is brutally murdered under the noses of the Council, and it comes to light that human conduits, those who can connect to the spirit warriors who will protect mankind, are being murdered, Luca can no longer remain uninvolved. Chloe Fallon is a conduit targeted by the vampire assassins, and when Luca saves her life, they are bonded, ready to fight the battle to preserve humankind and the world as we know it.
Linda Howard and Linda Jones have created a fascinating paranormal world in BLOOD BORN. Taking the vampire mythology and giving it a modern twist, they've put together a battle for supremacy between good and evil, human and vampire. Initially, I was skeptical of the whole idea of another author (or two) jumping on the vampire bandwagon, and I only picked this up because I'm a long- time fan of Ms. Howard. I was immediately drawn into this amazing world of witches and warriors, humans and vampires and the struggle for survival by all. Luca and Chloe are fierce and powerful, reluctant heroes. I was engaged in this world from page one and look forward to the continuation of the saga and learning more about Nevada and Sorin!

world.
All that stands in their way are the conduits,
humans able to channel spirit warriors into the physical
world to protect mankind. Chloe Fallon is a conduit--and a
target of the vampire assassin who's killing them. When Luca
saves her life, an irresistible bond of trust--along with
more passionate feelings--is forged between them. As more
victims fall, Chloe and Luca have only...
