Shadow's Seduction (Immortals After Dark #18) by Kresley Cole
not yet rated

In this scorching Immortals After Dark/Dacian novel, #1 New York Times bestselling author Kresley Cole brings together a wicked vampire prince used to getting everything he desires and a demon warrior who always felt like an outcast.

A night of debauchery...

Prince Mirceo Daciano and his new friend, Caspion the Tracker, comb the streets of Dacia, drunkenly seeking out pleasures of the flesh. In what should have been a typical night, they coax a bevy of nymphs to bed. To impress their females, the demon and the vampire kiss on a dare.

Changes them forever...

Once they finally break away from their soul-searing kiss, they find themselves alone — and shaken. Had they imagined their explosive chemistry? Obstacles — ranging from a death sentence to exile in a war-torn dimension — threaten to destroy their lives... and the vulnerable promise in that one kiss.

How long can they resist the fire that blazes between them?

Even if Mirceo can accept Caspion as his fated mate, the seductive vampire still must convince the stubborn demon that their bond is forever. And any royal Dacian union must receive the blessing of King Lothaire, an unpredictable and savage killer...

Growing up in the small town of Florida, Kresley always had a love for stories that mixed the supernatural with the emotional, often escaping into worlds of fantasy. She took this passion for storytelling into her career, and after initially pursuing a degree in history, she found herself irresistibly drawn to writing. Her deep understanding of history and mythology is evident in her work, where ancient legends and creatures come alive in new and exciting ways.

Kresley Cole's breakthrough came with A Hunger Like No Other, the first book in her Immortals After Dark series, which introduced readers to a world of vampires, werewolves, and other supernatural beings, all tangled in romantic entanglements. Her distinctive voice has since made her a beloved author, with numerous bestsellers and a legion of dedicated fans. But it’s not just the romance that sets Cole apart; her worlds are built with such care and complexity that readers become completely immersed in every book.

A recurring theme in Cole’s works is the idea of forbidden love, where characters are often torn between duty and desire, or the stark reality of their worlds and the ache of passion. Whether dealing with gods, vampires, or warlords, her characters are never simple. They are flawed, fierce, and fighting for something more than just their next breath. The high-stakes battles are matched only by the emotional stakes, making each of her books a roller-coaster ride of tension, heartache, and ultimate triumph.

But Kresley Cole's writing is about more than just escapism. It’s a testament to the resilience of the human (and inhuman) spirit. Her characters are often faced with impossible choices, from fighting battles to fighting their own inner demons, but always emerge stronger, more passionate, and ready to face whatever comes next. In every series, readers find themselves rooting for the characters’ happily ever afters, knowing that Cole will never let them off easy. Every love story is earned, and every victory is hard-won.

Her influence on the genre is undeniable, and her readers can always count on a deeply satisfying mix of action, romance, and twists that leave them wanting more. With every book, Kresley Cole continues to carve out her own space in the world of paranormal romance, inviting readers into captivating worlds where the lines between hero and villain are never as clear-cut as they seem.

As one of the leading voices in paranormal romance, Kresley continues to captivate audiences with her vivid storytelling, leaving a legacy of passionate fans who eagerly await the next chapter in her dark, thrilling, and oh-so-romantic worlds.

Immortals After Dark

In Immortals After Dark, the veil between the supernatural and the mortal world is thin—and it’s a place where passion, danger, and fate collide in electrifying ways. This series pulls readers into a world teeming with ancient warriors, seductive immortals, and fierce creatures bound by blood, power, and irresistible desire. But beneath the intensity of supernatural battles and thrilling confrontations, the heart of this series beats with fiery romance that ignites between the most unlikely of characters.

Read more ...

The series introduces readers to a host of formidable beings—vampires, werewolves, witches, and demons—each with their own dark secrets and tortured pasts. These immortals are bound by ancient rules and their own insatiable cravings, yet what makes them unforgettable is their capacity for love, loyalty, and sacrifice. In this world, no one is truly safe from the chaos of their desires or their enemies, and every romance is a dangerous, tantalizing game of survival.

From the moment the first book ignites, it becomes clear that this isn’t your typical paranormal romance. The stakes are higher, the world-building is richer, and the relationships feel more like a battle to be fought and earned. Each book in the series delves into a unique dynamic between two powerful beings, drawn together by fate or blood, forced to face the odds in ways that are as dangerous as they are passionate.

In this dark and compelling universe, love isn’t a mere escape—it’s a force that tests the characters’ limits, changes their fates, and shapes the very course of the battles they fight. Whether it’s the tension between a fierce Valkyrie and a tortured vampire or the stormy connection between a ruthless demon and an innocent mortal, each story blends sizzling chemistry with high-stakes action that never lets up.

What sets Immortals After Dark apart is its vivid, immersive atmosphere—where every moment crackles with tension, and every twist feels earned. The world Cole creates is as seductive as it is dangerous, where alliances are formed and broken in the blink of an eye, and where the supernatural isn’t just a backdrop but a driving force that shapes the very essence of each character.

Each installment promises not only a thrilling romance but a deep dive into the complex dynamics of immortality, power, and the eternal fight between light and dark. If you're ready to dive into a world where the impossible becomes real and every passion carries the weight of centuries, Immortals After Dark invites you to lose yourself in its pages.
