Thorn Ferrell, a courier for the US Secret service, and a werewolf, is sent to Europe at the dawn of the Turko-Russian war. All she has to do is deliver a package and her term of service is finally over.
Yaroslav once Prince of Luske during the dark ages, is a vampire. Driven from his home by a plague of the walking dead, Yaroslav is determined to discover who made the dead walk – and why.
In a cave high in the Carpathian mountains, werewolf and vampire meet, and embrace for a fleeting moment of peace. She flees in the sunlight to continue her mission, but the vampire is determined to keep his newfound lover. During her journey Thorn comes face to face with her past, in the form of Max, a werewolf made by the same man that made her, the Doctor. However, unlike her, this werewolf is insane.
And the Horror has come to town.
Fleeing the other werewolf, and the walking dead, Thorn finds her vampire lover in big trouble. It seems that the Penumbral Court thinks thay Yaroslav, a powerful mage in his own right, is the culprit behind the plague of walking dead. Thorn is Fedhor’s only proof that there is another mage, an unknown sorcerer, doing forbidden magic.
In the mean time…
The sorcerer wants his werewolf back.
Holy crap! That cover doesn’t leave anything to the imagination, does it?
*looks again*
*and again*
And it says the magic word: steampunk.
Steampunk’s good. Very very good. *happy dance*
And to be fair, I like the picture they used for the cover, but the font!!!! It’s not horrendous, but really… Gold? On that cover? They just ruined it!
I love the cover, and I can’t wait to read it, it sounds great.
Uh, Kristie probably blacked out when she saw this cover and that’s why she missed the most recent Derek Craven review 😉
Milady Insanity – yeah, the gold lettering ruined the gothic feel of the cover.

Now how did you score this one?
And I’m with you Meljean, next to cyberpunk, steampunk is the next best thing.
Nice score, Sybil 😛
Ooooh…I’m intrigued! I’ve enjoyed the couple of Morgan Hawke things I’ve read. Another addition to the list!
Cuz I am such a sweet girl
::bats eyes::
I was prepared to beg though cuz there is no shame in my game.
That is the most horrible cover I’ve seen in awhile. lol. Her ass is just nasty looking!
As someone who was LUCKY enough to test read this book. This is a definite keeper! IT IS FABULOUS 🙂 Morgan has definitely out done herself.
Erin you lucky…..damn it. I read the excerpt on her site and this sounds intriguing. Can’t wait. What a cover!!
