Tears of a Vampire Prince (The Stregoni Sequence #1.5)

This short but powerful novella chronicles the early life of Aaryn, who, in mourning the recent death of his wife, Emma, reflects upon the girl whose name and healing nature made him fall in love with her at their first meeting--the other Ehmah, his first love, a lovely, innocent, child-like Veela.

In remembering Ehmah, Aaryn recounts his early adventures--how he became the very first vampire; how he protected Ehmah from the lusts of the Princes of Night and struggled to protect her from himself; how he was forcibly drug into a mission in search for the One who could overthrow the evil of the Enchantress who had created him; and how all these tales weave together to tell the story of love entwining sorrow, passion, betrayal, and hope.

Aaryn's story echoes the unbreakable love and eternal bond between two immortals. Truly, this is one of the saddest vampire tales ever told.
