New Releases by Kresley Cole

From #1 New York Times bestseller Kresley Cole comes a darkly seductive new series where immortal passion collides with ruthless power. Beyond the mortal world lies the Skein, a realm of mythic beauty and savage desire ruled by creatures of legend. Here, vampires, witches, demons, and wolves wage war—and hunt their pleasures just as fiercely. Now, the Accession has begun, an ancient cycle of chaos and destiny that reignites old hostilities and forges fated bonds too hot to resist. A witch queen on the rise defies the brutal wolf king who stands in her way. But when fate twists their battlefield into a bed of temptation, sworn enemies become something far more perilous. Lovers. A vampire princess trades her crown for freedom, only to be bound to a scarred Berserker, a man whose possessive touch both terrifies and tempts her. An incubus spy and a cunning vampiress strike a dangerous bargain for survival, and profit, but lust becomes the one gamble neither expected. And when a wolf and an enchantress from opposing clans dare to make peace, their forbidden attraction could doom the Skein...or spark a love that defies the gods. Brimming with intrigue, bloody mayhem, and scorching heat, Ravenous plunges readers into the world of Immortals Untold—where magic kills, surrender triumphs, and immortal hungers can never be sated...

Ma quando rapisce per salvarla l''ultima discendente della casa reale di Castiglia, viene travolto da un desiderio che non può controllare. Analía è fiera, determinata e affascinante. Ogni bacio sfida la maledizione, ogni sguardo alimenta un legame proibito, perché amare Ana significa mettere in gioco non solo il proprio cuore, ma la vita di entrambi...
