Description

When an ancient cross is discovered in Eastern Europe it becomes a powerful weapon in the war between the trads and the Vampire Federation but soon, the world is threatened by its discovery
There are worse things than vampires

The Cross of Ardaich, bane of the undead, was thought to have been destroyed in the war between the Federation and its arch-enemy, the vampire Gabriel Stone. But its accidental rediscovery in the wilds of Romania could ultimately spell disaster for the whole world

Detective Joel Solomon and Vampire Federation agent Alexandra Bishop are lovers split by a terrible rift: Joel cant forgive that she made him a vampire. Yet when Gabriel Stone makes a deal with a bloodthirsty serial killer to retrieve the cross, the estranged couple and their rag-tag allies become the only hope in a race against pure evil.

If the terrible powers of the cross fall into the hands of Stones sinister masters the bervampyr, it isnt just ordinary vampires like Alex and Joel who will become an endangered species. Things could be about to turn very nasty for the human race

The Cross combines the high-octane action of the Ben Hope novels with the thrills of fast-paced action thrillers such as Batman Begins and Blade.

The terrifying new book in the Vampire Federation series.
