Now that she has come of age, she is the key to breaking that curse. But she’s also the prey of rogue vampires who inhabit the city’s frightening and violent underworld, as her blood gives them the ability to daywalk. For her protection she’s assigned a guardian—the handsome, sexy and dangerous Alec Munro. Former military doctor and current leader of the Brethren, Alec Munro has no intention of being responsible for Laura. After all, it was her damned family who was responsible for his untimely death and subsequent transformation. He owes them nothing, yet he also knows his own fated role in breaking the curse, and the unthinkable consequences should he not accept. To the Brethren, the ending of the curse spells disaster. Among a powerful few malice grows… In 2010, Bloodgifted came runner-up in the Atlas Award for fiction, and 2012 was listed among the top ten finalists (missed out by two points to be included in the final six)in the Choclit competition.
