The Enforcer

Edwin Aldemeer is a member of an elite warrior class who protect a council of elders of Vampires that act as the governing body for his kind. Power struggles arise continuously so these underground citizens must be policed. Centuries ago, Edwin was sired by a powerful female from the North. He is ruthless, cunning, intelligent and has never been defeated in battle. Althea Adams is a recently turned daughter of Marcus Grigory Ignatius whose bloodlines run back to Roman times. Marcus is an Ancient. His power has no boundaries. Althea has learned of a young vampire who has fallen in love with a human female. Thea is introduced and chaos ensues, for she is a hopeless romantic at heart. Humans are mortal enemies of the Realm. The Code does not allow for any fraternization. The penalty is death for all concerned. Edwin is dispatched to eliminate these disobedient rebels. He finds Althea immature, unreasonable and slightly deranged. But he certainly does not wish to end her young, promising life. Or make an enemy of the powerful Ignatius. The more time Edwin spends with Althea, the more a reluctant attraction grows. Her outlook on life is refreshing, thought-provoking which Edwin finds quite fascinating, were he honest with himself. Althea has disobeyed her Sire one too many times. Or has she. A plan is devised to bring Edwin and Althea together. But first, the Enforcer must prove his love and loyalty by test. Passing the test will be the most difficult task Edwin has ever been assigned. Edwin is a mature, stable, capable being. Althea is...not. Thea’s journey to womanhood is a confusing, delightful journey for the reader. Edwin’s transformation from a stern, no-nonsense, cynical warrior is heart warming and amusing at times. So, the clash between these two would-be lovers…
