A symbol that once united vampire and dreamwalker
Simone, loyal cadre to House Trelane, has never trusted dreamwalkers—especially not Colantha, a woman who wears her power like a crown and hides her secrets behind royal smiles. But when Colantha speaks of the Dagger of Omar, a relic once said to unite vampire and dreamwalker, Simone’s world tilts into chaos.
She’s seen that dagger before.
In the hands of Gaius—her former lover and eternal tormentor.
Now Gaius has vanished, and whispers of the dagger’s reappearance have stirred ancient enemies. To save him—and perhaps herself—Simone must walk a dangerous path between betrayal and desire, uncovering a truth that could ignite another war… or end both their worlds forever.
Kim Allred grew up in California but now enjoys the quiet life in an old timber town in the Pacific Northwest where she raises alpacas, llamas, and an undetermined number of free-range chickens. Like her characters, Kim loves sharing stories while sipping a glass of wine or slurping a strong cup of brew.
Her spirit of adventure has taken her on a ten-day dogsledding trip in northern Alaska and found her sleeping under the stars on the savannas of eastern Africa.
Kim is currently making up stories while shooing cats and dogs away from her lap, and Willow, the parrot, from her keyboard. Willow can peel the keys from the board in fifteen seconds flat.
Her current works include her time travel romance series, the Mórdha Stone Chronicles and The Swan Syndicate, the urban fantasy romance series, Of Blood & Dreams, and the time travel sci-fi and fantasy adventure series, Time Renegades.
