Miami reporter Jessica Jacobs, married to David Wolde for six years, doesn't know that he's actually over 500 years old, having fathered many families and watched them die. David belongs to The Immortals, ruled by Khaldun, who since drinking the blood of Christ has gathered The Immortals about him by transfusing his blood into theirs. Only David knows Khaldun's secret ritual, which must accompany such a transfusion to promote not just relief from all illnesses but immortality as well. David disappears, shot dead by the police, but then rises from the Miami morgue and goes his way, leaving Jessica, whom he's made immortal, and their three-year-old daughter Beatrice behind.
I gave this book 170 pages to reel me in. It never did. I really enjoyed My Soul to Keep, but this sequel lacked the intensity, suspense, and romantic undertones I appreciated in the first novel. I never cared for Lucas's narrative, and Fana is too powerful to be interesting. This is, unfortunately, where I leave the series.
