Charlotte Boyett-Compo - [WindWorld 04] Lucien's Khamsin

In 13th century Hungary, Lucien Korvina comes face to face with mythical beings from his childhood nightmares. Legendary Sagitarry and their beastmasters, the Manicore, descend on cloven hooves upon his tranquil, rustic village and kill or mutilate everything in their path. Left for dead, Lucien is found by the mysterious Sibylline, a Revenant queen from beyond space and time. In her fangs is the promise of eternal life and when she pierces the dying man's jugular, he becomes One with the Blood.

As one of the Undead, he has become her plaything-her prince of the Revenants. Khamsin has no idea who her parents were or from whence she came. Growing up in an orphanage after the Great War of 2052, she has never known love. Captured by Lucien's men, she fights to escape the clutches of what she believes is pure evil-vampires intent on draining her blood and enslaving her body, forcing her into thrall to a Revenant master. Khamsin learns the true ways of the Revenants when, despite her fear of him, she falls in lust and love with Lucien Korvina. There is but one problem ... Sibylline.
