Publisher Description
#1 New York Times bestseller Kresley Cole follows the royal bloodline of Dacia, a mysterious vampire kingdom within The Lore—Cole’s world of mythological creatures—in this next installment of her award-winning Immortals After Dark series.
Shadow’s Claim features Prince Trehan, a ruthless master assassin who will do anything to possess Bettina, his beautiful sorceress mate, even compete for her hand in a blood-sport tournament—to the death.
Trehan Daciano, known as the Prince of Shadows, has spent his life serving his people—striking in the night, quietly executing any threat to their realm. The coldly disciplined swordsman has never desired anything for himself—until he beholds Bettina, the sheltered ward of two of the Lore’s most fearsome villains.
Desperate to earn her guardians’ approval after a life-shattering mistake, young Bettina has no choice but to marry whichever suitor prevails—even though she’s lost her heart to another. Yet one lethal competitor, a mysterious cloaked swordsman, invades her dreams, tempting her with forbidden pleasure.
Even if Trehan can survive the punishing contests to claim her as his wife, the true battle for Bettina’s heart is yet to come. And unleashing a millennium’s worth of savage need will either frighten his Bride away—or stoke Bettina’s own desires to a fever pitch...

"This book was alright compared to the other books in the series. I love kresley cole and will read anything she rights. But the characters weren't as unique as others in the series. It felt like they were just playing their roles. Still a book worth reading but cole has done better"
— Natalie (4 out of 5 stars)

" I wasn't as impressed with this book as I was with the other IAD books. However, I will continue the series because it'a a different perspective of the IAD series. New characters too. And more of Nix which is always good. "

" I liked this book a lot. I didn't care for Bettina very much. I hope I wasn't that naive at her age. I also wished that there was a little more description during the fighting scenes. "
— Kimberly, 1/10/2014 -
