The wizards and the vampires have forged an alliance based on blood and magic, hoping to turn the tide of the war against the dark wizards. A few wizard-vampire bonds are as successful as Alain Magnierโs and Orlando St. Clairโs, but some are much less so, leading to arguments, resentment, and outright fights between the allies despite their mutual goals.
Following his best friend Alainโs example, Thierry Dumont determinedly forms a partnership with vampire Sebastien Noyer, despite the wizardโs discomfort with being so close to a vampireโa manโso soon after his wifeโs death. But they find that desperation may be the key to forming a covenant that works: Thierry and Sebastien are almost immediately devoted to one anotherโs safety.
With new strength behind it, the Allianceโs leaders move to announce its existence to the whole world, hoping to rally support against the dark wizards who threaten to destroy life as they know it. Struggling to find its way in the expanding war, the Alliance discovers that despite its advantages, the partnerships are affecting the balance of magical power in the world, which may be an even bigger threat than the war itself.
This second edition received minor revision and proofing for re-release in honor of the publication of Partnership Reborn, the final book in the series.
