REDEMPTION
Book One Penton Legacy series
By Susannah Sandlin
Following a worldwide pandemic whose vaccine
left human blood deadly to vampires, the vampire community is on the verge of
starvation and panic. Some have fanned into rural areas, where the vaccine was
less prevalent, and are taking unsuspecting humans as blood slaves. Others are
simply starving, which for a vampire is worse than death—a raging hunger in a
creature too weak to feed.
Immune
to these struggles—at first—is Penton, a tiny community in rural Chambers
County, Alabama, an abandoned cotton mill town that has been repopulated by
charismatic vampire Aidan Murphy, his scathe of 50 vampires, and their
willingly bonded humans. Aidan has recruited his people carefully, believing in
a peaceful community where the humans are respected and the vampires retain a
bit of their humanity.
But an unresolved family feud and the paranoia of the Vampire Tribunal descend on Penton in the form of Aidan’s brother, Owen Murphy. Owen has been issued a death warrant that can only be commuted if he destroys Penton—and Aidan, against whom he’s held a grudge since both were turned vampire in 17th-century Ireland. Owen begins a systematic attack on the town, first killing its doctor, then attacking one of Aidan’s own human familiars
To protect his people, Aidan is forced to go against his principles and kidnap an unvaccinated human doctor—and finds himself falling in love for the first time since the death of his wife in Ireland centuries ago.
Dr. Krystal Harris, forced into a world she
never knew existed, must face up to her own abusive past to learn if the
feelings she’s developing for her kidnapper are real—or just a warped,
supernatural kind of Stockholm Syndrome in which she’s allowing herself to
become a victim yet again.

Book Description:
With the
vampire world on the brink of civil war over the scarcity of untainted human
blood, battle lines are being drawn between the once peaceful vampire and human
enclave of Penton, Alabama, and the powerful Vampire Tribunal.
A
Scottish gallowglass warrior turned vampire in the early 17th century, Mirren
Kincaid once served the Tribunal as its most creative and ruthless
executioner—a time when he was known as the Slayer. But when assigned a killing
he found questionable, Mirren abandoned the Tribunal’s political machinations
and disappeared—only to resurface two centuries later as the protector and
second-in-command of Penton. Now the Tribunal wants him back on their side—or
dead.
To break
their rogue agent, they capture Glory Cummings, the descendant of a shaman, and
send her to restore Mirren’s bloodthirsty nature. But instead of a monster,
Glory sees a man burdened by the weight of his past. Could her magic
touch—meant by the tribunal to bring out a violent killer—actually help Mirren
break his bonds and discover the love he doesn’t believe he deserves?
It’s a
town under siege, a powerful warrior in a battle with his past, and one woman
who can make the earth move—literally—as the Penton Legacy continues.

The

into the underground fortress of last resort: Omega. There, Will Ludlam is
charged with the care of Penton's humans, though he longs to fight alongside
his vampire brethren. He knows the risks: as the renegade son of the Tribunal's
vicious leader, Will's capture could doom the resistance.
Yet he
is determined to prove his worth to his adopted scathe, to his vengeful father
and to former US Army officer Randa Thomas, his beautiful, reluctant partner.
Randa has little faith that a former member of the vampire elite has what it
takes to fight a war. But as their enemies descend upon Omega, Will's polished
charm and Randa's guarded heart finally give way to the warrior within.
