Fireborn

Summary:

Hell must be empty because the Spartan Family is gathering in San Diego.

They’re outcast vampires who became a family. They’re more like the Borgias or the Donners than the Windsors and Kennedys. There’s Theo, a Greek from Sparta who looks like he’s just out of his teens but might be the most powerful vampire on earth. The Lady Chi, not even five feet tall with her bound feet, a vampire succubus who’s responsible for more wooden boys than Geppetto. There’s a dark Viking who’s falling for the cashier working at the gas station and a Gypsy who talks to the local coyotes.

Then there’s Dane Kriger, the wickedly beautiful vampire known as the War Dane. He’s never been called civilized and it’s hard to keep clothes on him. He’s over five hundred years old and he’s spent the last hundred years as the slave of a sadistic vampire who’s tortured him, raped him and kept him from his woman. Dane’s had enough. He’s summoning his family together to help him get his life and his Bianca back.
