There are new beginnings for the ancient Medici vampire coven.

The sexy, powerful King Shade Medici intends to increase his coven and territories to include the U.S. The new Medici Queen proves she can hold her own beside her king.

A male heir must be produced to carry on the Medici line. The royal couple has many new plans in business to advance their hold in the States. Not everyone is happy about it. The sprawling Medici estate is a threat to its neighboring coven, controlled by Max. Their lifestyle is Rissa’s greatest envy.

Secrets will be revealed, old scores will be settled, and many will fall.

Editorial Reviews

About the Author

Emily Bex is the internationally bestselling author of the epic six-book Medici Warrior series. As she says, "Why start small?" She worked for over twenty years in marketing, developing ad campaigns, catalogs, product launches and promotional literature. She figured if she could write creatively about products, then surely she could write something about these characters that were rattling around inside her brain. The Medici Warrior series is paranormal romance, or as she calls it, pure escapism. She currently lives in Virginia, but has used her extensive love of travel, both foreign and domestic, to create the backdrop for her characters to play out their story.

Paul Brion has a passion for storytelling. He believes that audiobooks-our most current form of the oral tradition-are the purest of the interactive and co-creative arts. An autodidact with eclectic interests, he enjoys learning about a wide variety of subjects, as he has an avaricious hunger for knowledge.

    I am enjoying reading this series. However in this book and storyline, the hypocrisy of the featured couple Shade and Kate bothered me. Kate, even though she is immortal now still has not come around to accepting feeders as part of vampire culture. Really? I understand that she wants Shade and herself to be exclusive but since he can’t feed from her if she was pregnant or out on the battlefield; there must be exceptions for extreme situations. King Shade sowed some wild oats back in the day aka he has shared adult activities with most. Kate can’t dislike every other female that has experienced King Shade and his beast because frankly there are simply too many of them. I liked Jacks because she is a talented and highly sought after female warrior. Yes, Jacks has her own agenda and wants to show her strength and prowess to Master Alec due to some past events, not any other vampire. And even though Alec and Jacks sealed the protection contract with some adult activities didn’t bother me. According to the world building this is acceptable vampire behavior. Alec is a manipulative and vicious Alpha jerk and has been dallying since meeting him in book one. Alec and his mate Larissa live their own version of the master- sub life, plus they add other vampires to their adult activities. They have an open relationship for the sake of their world. So when Jacks comes to interview, we learn that her and Alec have a past relationship and enjoyed a past relationship. So why would King Shade and Kate be upset with Jacks and throw mad and harsh vibes her way and not to Alec at all? Alec just gets a side conversation of man, you should have done that outside of your house. Meanwhile Jacks is ousted. No way! I lost respect for Queen Kate because that was wrong that Jacks had to take the whole blame when it was both Alec and Jacks, plus Larissa knows that their relationship is an open one. She has enjoyed the open status too with Master Max in book two, multiple times. Read On!

    I also LOVED the length of all three books. This series is one you hate to end. All the characters are so vividly described, you feel like they are your friends.
    There is humor in it and at times I laughed out loud at some of the things said. Then other times I had to get the tissue box out to wipe my eyes so I could see to read.
    I hope to read a lot more from this author. She is indeed a gifted artist!

    This is book 3 in this series of intriguing characters and vampire/mortal interplay. With each book you grow to enjoy these characters even more. In this book, Kate comes into her own showing the reader and the vampire world who she can be when necessary. You’ll be glad you read it. I do recommend reading the first two volumes before this book. You’ll be glad you did.

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 21, 2020
    Wow what a series, these books were an amazing read. I loved every moment. We finally got the battle that was waiting to be fought. I have regrets that I wished had been dealt with. Rissa for one, and Max, they deserved to be punished but who knows. The characters were wonderful, and you felt emotions for all of them. Shade and Kate’s story had so many amazing beautiful moments, so much angst, lots of dark moments, some wonderful scenes, and painful ones which had me crying but overall this book series was amazing. If you love a vampire story, I’d highly recommend this one.

    Loved the story but was really disappointed with the lack of good editing. Please, it does make a big difference to reading enjoyment when correct spelling, punctuation and word usage are in place.
