#1 New York Times bestselling author Nora Roberts continues the hauntingly spectacular Lost Bride Trilogy with book two, The Mirror.
When Sonya MacTavish inherits the huge Victorian mansion on the coast of Maine, she has no idea that the house is haunted. The footsteps she hears at night, the doors slamming, the music playing, are not figments of her imagination. In her dreams she sees glimpses of the past. In the present she finds portraits of brides. And when she has visions of an antique mirror, she is drawn to it, sensing it holds dark family secrets.
Then one night the mirror appears and Sonya glides through this looking glass, into the past―and sees a bride murdered on her wedding day, the circle of gold torn from her finger. It is a scene that will play out again and again―a centuries-old curse that must be broken―and a puzzle she must solve if there is any hope of breaking the curse.
When a vampire seduces you, death is minutes away. When she hires you,
you'll soon wish you were dead.
It's a truth known to every guardian who worked for Fiona, including
Daniel. Aside from managing the day-to-day chores and keeping them
protected, he manages an investment portfolio to buy stolen blood from
hospital workers. The 250-year-old Fiona needs 10 pints of human blood
every night. As a result of this, Daniel and Fiona are always on the
lookout for police but fail to notice their gradual encirclement by
Mors Strigae, an ancient order of monks dedicated to the extermination
of vampires. Gone for a century, the monks start a new war when they
destroy Fiona's sire. This time, her vampire family is pushed to the
edge of extinction -- and the humans who serve them are hunted and
executed.
After 35 years, what keeps him loyal? And will he ever be allowed to
leave?
The hardback version includes two bonus short stories which introduce
the sequel to Fiona's Guardians. Dan Kleftstad's original spin on the
vampire legend brings bloodsuckers into the 21st century, exploring how
the manipulative and seductive vampire struggles to maintain her hold
to power in the technological age. This original book has already been
adapted into a creative podcast performed by Chicago's Artists'
Ensemble Theatre show: Mysterious Journey.
