In this thrilling new Night Rebel series set in New York Times bestselling author Jeaniene Frost's Night Huntress world, sexy and ruthless vampire Ian finally meets his match!

The Rule Breaker...

Master vampire Ian is unrepentant, shameless...and every shade of wicked. He's made one too many enemies in his two centuries of existence, including Dagon, a demon who now lays claim to his soul. Ian's only chance to escape Dagon is to join forces with a Law Guardian, but he's never been able to abide by the rules for long.

The Law Maker...

Veritas' normal role is police, judge, and jury to reprobates like Ian. But she has her own ax to grind with Dagon, so if she can use Ian as bait...well, all's fair in law and war. As they scour supernatural hotspots to perfect their trap, Veritas soon realizes Ian's carefully cultivated, devil-may-care roguish image hides something much more powerful. And Ian discovers Veritas has shocking secrets of her own. As they're drawn to each other with a passion as intense as their peril, either love or justice will prevail. But each will have devastating consequences.

      The legions of fans for Frost's super popular, darkly twisted Night Huntress titles will be thrilled by the first book in her Night Rebel series. Four-thousand-year-old Veritas is a Law Guardian with deep secrets and more in a world of vampires, witches, and demons. Her lifelong goal is to defeat the powerful demon Dagon, and it looks like she may have a path to do it when she discovers debauched master vampire, Ian, who will make the perfect bait for her trap. Extricating Ian from a carnival-�themed orgy, Veritas gets into a vampire, drugged-blood drinking contest, leading them to rescue sweet, little, winged and feathered, puppy-like Simargyl, the source of the blood, who becomes part of their family. Complications force them into pretending to be married, with further developments to come. Wild, magically enhanced sex and bloody, bone-pulverizing battles will keep readers turning the pages.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2018, American Library Association.)

      Starred review from October 1, 2018
      Two vampires with a common enemy reluctantly join forces to vanquish him, then become true partners--which both strengthens them as they face their metaphorical demons and makes them more vulnerable in confronting their demonic foe.Veritas is a Law Guardian for the vampire council, but secretly she is a mixed-race being, half-human, half-demigod--the daughter of a powerful lord of the underworld--who uses her special powers for her own secret agenda. Law Guardians enforce laws she and many others feel have been distorted over the centuries and are currently used to deem mixed-species children illegal, sentenced to execution. Quietly thwarting those laws allows her to bring "hope to all who suffered when the powerful took advantage of the vulnerable." Veritas approaches Ian, a vampire with a reckless, maverick reputation, to help her destroy Dagon, a powerful, villainous demon. Ian despises her but agrees to help since Dagon tricked him into bargaining his soul; the demon's death will free him. As they create events to draw Dagon out, Ian sees a different side of her, but when she risks everything to save a helpless creature from a brutal existence, he realizes she is truly noble. After they wind up married to protect Ian from the law, their pretend devotion becomes more real as they vanquish enemies together and defend each other to distrustful friends and allies, but when their showdown with Dagon goes awry, Veritas may have to sacrifice their love to keep Ian safe. Frost's Night Huntress spinoff is a flawless blend of high-stakes romance and action-packed paranormal adventure that subtly explores race, justice, honor, and power with creativity and sensitivity while never getting in the way of a superbly crafted and entertaining plot.Sexy, breathtaking, not-to-be-missed paranormal romance.
