The Melancholy Years

When Lily Colibri and her mother suddenly relocate to a small Midwestern town, Lily can't shake the feeling they're running from something. The feeling intensifies as Lily realizes someone is stalking her, although she's not sure who. Too many people seem to have developed an intense interest in the young woman.

Lily must contend with Grifford DeKalb, the deranged leader of the True Faith Coalition cult, who wants Lily dead for reasons she cannot fathom. Disturbed and dangerous though DeKalb is, Lily's more concerned about the menacing figure who keeps trying to get close to her. And then there's Ivan.

Handsome, mysterious, and almost erotically dangerous, Ivan March may be more than human. He seems to have appointed himself Lily's personal protector, but how well can she trust a man with so many secrets?

When Lily finds herself drawn to a gate only she can see, she finds herself at the center of an age-old conflict between good and evil. She is one of the Kindred, distant cousins to mankind, and a key player in a battle, which, if lost, will consume two worlds.
