BOOK 1 IN THE GRAVES SERIES
 
Blurb: 
Hidden between the hills of the kingdom of Brusmont is a secret, kept for 21 years: the bastard vampire son of a ruthless leader. Azrael. Whispers of him haunt the village, and cast a shadow on his existence. Spending his life carrying out executions in the name of the crown and church as punishment of his curse, he does not speak unless he is granted permission, and has not looked or touched another human being his entire life. Being an outcast, in daylight he lives up to his name, but under the moon he writes another story for himself. 

Until Marley arrives.
 
 
A newly appointed priest with too many questions and a gaze that lingers too long. Marley should be easy to ignore, but he isn’t afraid of Azrael’s wrath. In a frustrating turn of events, Azrael finds himself in a predicament where he cannot avoid Marley as much as he wants when they are appointed to work together as the unrest between the Protestants and the Catholics grow.
 
 
Wanting a man who represents everything he was taught he doesn’t deserve was the last thing Azrael expects. Bound by the secrets, guilts and lies, Azrael and Marley find themselves forced to confront the cost of devotion - whether to God, the crown or each-other.
