Nightslayer

IN NEW ERLAND, LOVE AND DEATH SHARE THE SAME FACE Seven months into his tenure as the Nightslayer, Henry Ellington is unsure he's up for the task. When he learns that the ancient Blackwood family, one of the original Strigoi bloodlines, have announced their return to New Elrand, he braces for the worst... Thomas Blackwood, heir to the secretive Court of Gilded Dusk, has his own mission: protect his fellow Strigoi from returning to their state of near extinction, and kill the Nightslayer. Yet one stolen kiss at a masked ball changes everything. When Thomas learns that the stranger he found so enchanting is the Nightslayer himself, his mission becomes a bloodthirsty paradox. Under orders from his ruthless father, Thomas continues the seduction as a ploy with Henry none the wiser that the man he is so drawn to is part of the species he is sworn to kill. But something far darker is awakening in New Elrand. And when desire and duty collide, Henry and Thomas are confronted with a decision that will alter the fate of the city itself... **** PRAISE FOR BILL WOOD 'Deeply atmospheric, tense, and propulsive' LUCY ROSE, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Lamb 'Bill Wood is a fresh and exciting new voice' KATHRYN FOXFIELD, author of Good Girls Die First 'Iconic!'
