"next installment of the CRIMSON CITY"
In SEDUCED BY CRIMSON, the next installment of the CRIMSON CITY
SAGA, Druids enter the plot. Crimson City now has an open
door to
the plane of Orcus and the Dark Ones enter at will with a
barrage
of destruction. Patrick Lewis is the Draig-Uisge, an enforcer of
sorts and must now find a way to close the door. While
werewolves, vampires, and humans are forced to fight together
against the Dark Ones, he is on the hunt for the "Phoenix
Tears". Refugee Xiao Fei, an herbalist, is the last Phoenix Tear and
knows
how to close the door. She also knows the price that must be
paid
for such a task. Once she and her sisters paid that price
and now
there is only her. SEDUCED BY CRIMSON is the fifth book in the Crimson Series. This
is an interesting series because although they can stand
alone the
stories work together to create a many layered world that
keeps the
reader fascinated with the work.

| SUMMARY |
|
Long ago Los Angeles became Crimson City, a glittering metropolis and sometime-battleground-sometime-home for humans, werewolves and vampires. Before that, demons ruled. And with the Crimson Veil now torn asunder, those demons are on their way back. There exist those who oppose the Dark Ones: mystics attuned to the earth, the druids. From San Bernadino they come, sending one of their mightiest-their Draige-Uisge. He can shape energy, twist it to harm or heal. But he must have something to bend, and the requisite power can be summoned by one method alone…and from one source: the beauty Xiao Fei, the Phoenix Tear. Her blood is the key, along with her ecstasy; her union with Patrick means salvation. Yet in a world of vampires, werewolves and evil untamed, even a kiss can be deadly. Opposition lurks in every shadow, peril in every caress…and both redemption and oblivion lie in one woman being…SEDUCED BY CRIMSON. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
