Dark Horizons (The Red Sector Chronicles) (50 page)

To save her humanity, Sloane must sacrifice what’s in her heart.

When she became a vampire, Sloane gave up the life she once knew, never thinking she would have the opportunity to reclaim it. But with Paris’s groundbreaking medical discovery comes a complicated web of secrets, betrayal, and lies, and Sloane learns her greatest battle is only just beginning.

Frost rules the underground city with an iron fist while anarchy breaks out in the White Sectors above as full-out war wages between the humans, the Scarlet Guard, and the Black Cross Guild. As her best friend Leo grows more distant – and closer to his protégé Arika – the decision to leave it all behind presses deeper on Sloane’s heart.

At the crux of the rising tension within the vampire city, a horrific event forces Sloane, Aden, and the others to run for their lives, driving them into treacherous underground passages that haven’t been traveled in centuries. As Sloane battles the rising demon within, she uncovers more about her heritage along the journey, including a frightening secret about the fate of the first king – a fate that could very well be her own.

As she falls deeper in love with the enigmatic Aden Knight, Sloane has to come to terms that what’s in her heart may not be what’s best for her – and ultimately – mankind. But could she ever walk away from the one man who means everything to her?

Loyalties will be tested, hearts will be broken, and no one’s lives will ever be the same.

This book was a long time coming. Firstly, I’d like to thank my readers for being so patient for DH’s release. You guys rock. Secondly, I’d like to thank my beta readers, Kathy, Priya, Terri, and Pam. Thanks for pointing out my story’s flaws, and making me sound smarter.
Thirdly, thank you Jennifer for letting me vent my writerly worries to you. And last but not least, thank you, Tobias, for putting up with my endless book chatter. I love you.
