Beschreibung

Chapel has been a vampire since the 1300s when he and his men tried to rob the Knights Templar and ended up drinking from a cup imbued with the essence of Lilith, the mother of all vampires. Since then the five of them have gone their separate ways-It is now 1899 and Chapel is sent to England to protect the cup from humans looking for it.
Prudence Ryland is dying and sees the Grail as her one chance at life. But when she falls into a trap while searching for the Grail she becomes poisoned. Chapel is there and tries to save her, however it is too late. Knowing that her time is limited and regretting having done so little in her young life, Pru asks Chapel to become her lover and introduce her to grand adventures. As her life force slowly ebbs away, Pru knows there is one more thing that can save her from death-but is Chapel willing to turn Pru into an immortal vampire?

Klappentext

I am called Chapel . . .

For nearly six centuries I have roamed the night, a mortal man no longer. Would that I could undo the past -- when I entered the sanctuary of the Knights Templar to wrest from them the Holy Grail, only to discover the chalice I raised to my lips was not the sacred relic but a hellish cup of damnation. Now I shun the day and all things human, driven by an ungodly thirst. And yet...

Never have I known a maiden the like of Prudence Ryland, whose beauty and spirit awaken a heart I feared long cold and dead. But her young life is slipping away, and she also seeks the deliverance of the Grail -- unaware that the cost of her search could be her soul. I must help Prudence, for in six hundred years, no other woman has stirred my passions so. But dare I tender to my beloved that which she most desires -- the sensuous "gift" of forever that is both rapture and a curse: my immortal kiss?
