Vampyre New Moon Book 2 - Eternal 

Synopsis

Val is a vampire warrior following the path of a vigilante and seeking justice for herself and other people.  She had succeeded in uncovering a conspiracy and raising a united army for the betterment of the lands.  She commands the alliance, and all look upon her as the world's hero and protector. However, now a new threat has come out of the shadows and it just might prove to be their biggest challenge yet.

A savage blight of otherworldly power sweeps across the land.  What it cannot take over it destroys, and unless something is done about it, it will mean the end of everything. Val sets aside her duties as the leader of the alliance and goes on a desperate mission to find the source of the blight and how to stop it.

She faces unreal adversaries and missions to the edge of her world and the next, all the while trying to come to terms not just with a source of new power but her ultimate destiny.

One way or another, she will destroy the blight, or it will be the end of all that is and ever will be.

Prologue

Though the Fulcrum was destroyed there seemed to be no end of things to do.  There was no longer a secret body controlling everything, there was still a lot of questions that had to be answered.  The Vampires were something Val would have thought would have been the hardest to reconcile, having such different views that could not work together.  However, many of them had suffered under the oppressive yolk of the Fulcrum so they seemed excited to work under an organization that would be much more transparent. 

They still bickered with each other but at least they came to the table.  The werewolves had no hesitation to join with Henrik and Val, having fought by their side in the battle against the Fulcrum, and to a werewolf, that is something often stronger than words.  The witches were eager to join with the alliance fully.  They made it very clear that much of their arts would stay a secret but they would keep the lines of communication open.  The elementals and the spirits were the least keen.  They are long lived races that feel that their attention is grander than small moves. 

They would participate, but only time would gain their full trust and cooperation.  The biggest change is that the human allies were given a place at the table. The disconnection between the dark underworld and the day world would be maintained, however, those who worked with the dark races would gain a say and a greater piece of the rewards the alliance provided.

The stronghold in the mountains rapidly grew in complexity, all of the clans sending resources and representatives.  Val could hardly remember when it was just a lost ruin, it had become a home and power center so fast.  Val was the interim leader of the alliance, something she earned through the last conflict but something she worried she would not be able to keep up.  Though she seemed to excel as a leader, she still deep-down thought of herself as the solitary drifter, the street girl that offers nothing and takes nothing. Henrik proved to be the biggest source of strength for Val.  His unconditional love and loyalty always centered her when she needed it.  No matter what responsibilities befell on Val, he was always ready to support and love her.  They had a sanctum within the stronghold and would meet with each other to make love and spend time together whenever opportunity arose.
