Book One: Moonlight Awakening [The Moonlight Series] [strong mature themes]
Moonlight Awakening - Book One of The Moonlight Series.
At Blackwood University, vampire mythology is just another subject in the Paranormal Studies department-stories born from fear, folklore, and imagination.
But for Dorian Nightfall, those stories are painfully wrong.
For more than a thousand years, Dorian has walked the world as the last vampire alive. His coven was destroyed centuries ago by a secret order of hunters, leaving him alone to hide among humans while the centuries pass. Immortal, brilliant, and impossibly mysterious, he has perfected the art of blending into the background.
Until Cassandra Moon walks into his classroom.
Cassandra has spent her life studying the supernatural. Raised in the shadow of Salem, Massachusetts, she believes ancient myths are more than stories. When she challenges Dorian during a heated lecture about vampire lore inspired by works like Dracula, she doesn't realize she's provoking the only person in the room who knows the truth.
As their intellectual rivalry turns into something deeper, Cassandra begins investigating the quiet, enigmatic student who seems to know far too much about history.
What she discovers makes no sense.
Dorian never appears clearly in daylight photographs.
His knowledge spans centuries.
And every full moon... he disappears.
When Cassandra uncovers the truth-that Dorian is the last vampire-their growing love awakens a dangerous secret buried in his blood. Now hunted by the ancient Order of the Dawn, Dorian faces an impossible choice: protect the woman he loves... or lose her to the monster he might become.
Because under the moon, even love may not be enough to stop the hunger.
