Über diesen Titel
In a world of dwindling hope, love has never mattered more....
Captain Nathan J. Northland had no idea what to expect when he returned home to Lorehaven injured from war, but it certainly wasn't to find himself posted on an island full of vampires. An island whose local vampire dandy lord causes Nathan to feel strange things he'd never felt before.
Particularly about fangs.
When Vlad Blutstein agreed to hire Nathan as the captain of the Eyrie Guard, he hadn't been sure what to expect either, but it certainly hadn't been to fall in love with a disabled werewolf. However, Vlad has fallen and fallen hard, and that's the problem.
Torn by their allegiance to family, to duty, and the age-old enmity between vampires and werewolves, the pair find themselves in a difficult situation: whether to love where the heart wants or to follow where expectation demands.
The situation is complicated further when a mysterious and beguiling figure known only as Lady Ursula crashes into their lives, bringing with her dark omens of death, doom, and destruction in her wake. One thing is for certain: Nothing will ever be the same.

The two main characters probably played the biggest part in that, I love how fleshed out and "human" they feel. Even though there is an instant spark upon their first meeting, the story doesn't rush to get them together as soon as possible, but instead takes enough time for Vlad and Nathan to get to know eachother and develop a bond of mutual trust. It is so fun watching them pine for the other one, blissfully unaware that the feeling is mutual. Notably, there's no drama between them, which I appreciate very much. No misunderstandings that could've been solved by just communicating, no exaggerated jealousy and so on. All the "drama" comes from outside, in the form of racist and short-sighted politicians, general unrest in the country and environmental problems. Which should sound familiar to most readers and brings me to the world in which the story is set.
It is not just the characters who are well fleshed out, the world which they inhabit feels just as real. Full of supernatural beings and magic, but also bureaucracy and normal everyday life. All information regarding the workings of this world is supplied very organically, the reader is never ambushed by a wall of text detailing complicated family trees or the like.
I must admit I squealed a little when the narrator (who is doing an excellent job of giving every character a distinct voice and switching between different accents easily) announced at the end that there would be a second book about the same group of characters. I can't wait!
