The Binding

Seeking a paranormal world amongst the living? Prefer life as you listen to it in dark novels where unexplained deaths and disappearances invariably transpire in the old city of New Orleans? Longing to meet a vampire? Wanna walk in the Quarter with another misfit, yet charming gothic girl? Hoping for intelligent bantering, endless romance, and a bit of spooky voodoo stirred into this tale?

Though she is dead, life is good. Being the Vampire Queen of New Orleans is not without its perks. For Sybella Rose, her new life with her mate, King Demien, with whom she shares the connection of The Binding, is a vampire's version of happily-ever-after. She has adapted to the differences that come with being a preternatural creature and is making her own way as vampire royalty. Yet, life and everything Sybella knows about herself is about to be uprooted.

As each evening passes, life in the Big Easy becomes increasingly complicated, at least it does for Sybella Rose, vampire queen of New Orleans. Immediately after discovering she had unknowingly been half-fae before receiving the Cadeau de Illecebrous from her mate, King Demien, Sybella Rose, along with her friends, disinterred that the Binding was nothing more than a curse to control and annihilate vampires all over the world.

For 200 years, I have promenaded down the streets and avenues of New Orleans. Born and long since dead, I received the Cadeau de Sang Illecebrous at the tender age of 16 in the year 1820, and ever since that lurid moment, I, Zylphia Lynum, have shadowed the Crescent City, hunting prey as a vampire. That life is no more, whether I like it or not.

Prophetic dreams of death and destruction, caused by her unborn daughter, Solomon Cille, plague JoJo’s sleep, warning her of trouble to come. The trouble must be stopped before JoJo’s nightmares are made real. Solomon Cille is young, but a heavy burden hangs on her head. The Seelie Queen chose her to host a parasitic faery within her body, a blood elemental that feeds off of Solomon’s essence and urges her to go to war against her city. The danger in New Orleans grows as Orlagh, Queen of the Seelie Fae, strikes out again.

After the death of Queen Orlagh, the once Seelie Queen of faeries, and her evil henchman King Eldon, king of Zoanthia, trouble brews in the faery realm. While the Seelie and Unseelie courts struggle for peace under the new rule, a monstrous faery takes control of Zoanthia.
