Sanctuary of the Devoted
(2027)(The eighth book in the Vows of Possession series)
A novel by Tierra Cox
Dove Mordrake is a sanctuary for dangerous men.
Beautiful, commanding, and touched by an ancient dragon-borne curse, she inspires a devotion that follows her beyond death. Three men already remain at her side—jealous, obsessive, and eternally hers—serving as both weapons and proof of what happens when a man surrenders himself completely.
As a mercenary and entity hunter, Dove accepts only the contracts she considers justified. So when she’s offered a fortune to assassinate weapons developer Kiyoshi Watanabe, she investigates her target—and refuses. Kiyoshi isn’t the monster she was promised. More troubling is the desperation of whoever wants him dead.
Before Dove can uncover the truth, the Entity Containment Protocol Society sends its most enigmatic agent to bring her in. Agent 3 is composed, perceptive, and strangely resistant to the pull that makes other men unravel around her. He should be another obstacle. Instead, he may be the only person who understands the war gathering in the shadows.
Then Dove’s home is breached and her beloved cousin, Fern, is taken.
The vampires responsible don’t merely want Kiyoshi’s work destroyed. They want the secret behind Dove’s immortal devotees—and they'''re willing to use the only woman she loves to claim it.
To bring Fern home, Dove must form an uneasy alliance with a man who’s been ordered to contain her, enter a conflict capable of reshaping the supernatural world, and confront the question no one has survived long enough to ask:
If Dove can turn devotion into a weapon, what happens when someone finally earns hers?
