Vampire Apocalypse II: APOTHEOSIS
by Katriena Knights

The Chess Master . . . Julian Cavanaugh carries the fate of the vampire Underground on his world-weary, eight-hundred- year-old shoulders. He wants only a life of peace with Lorelei and their expected child. But peace can't exist while the evil Ialdaboth lives. As the malevolent immortal draws closer, Julian plans his strategy, maneuvering allies like chess pieces on a board—except these rooks and pawns have wills of their own. . . . Lilith left hope behind centuries ago. She wants to help the Underground but fears her presence will lead her fiendish ex-master to her new friends—including Jarod Greene, the human she loves. Rafael hates being seventeen—forever. He wants desperately to be human again . . . and to love Sasha, who rescued him from Ialdaboth's coven. But if he chooses one, he may lose the other. And he may lose both if the secret he harbors can't save them all. . . . Tara Summers walks a fine line as human mother to child vampire Daniel. She wants to believe hypnotherapist Gray DeAngelo will help her. She fears, though, he may annihilate the Underground—and her along with it. Endgame . . . For centuries, Julian has dreamed of a world where vampire and human live together, in harmony. Yet with the ultimate evil upon them, he knows his dreams are doomed. Will he—can he—win the war with Ialdaboth? Or will he have to face the death of his dreams . . . and of everyone he knows and loves?

Katriena Knights' Bio

Katriena Knights wrote her first poem, "Ode to a Pancake," at the age of three, and has since become the award-winning author of several paranormal romances, including The Haunting of Rory Campbell, a December, 2001 release from ImaJinn Books. Other books include Time and Time Again, also available from ImaJinn, The Vampire Apocalypse novella series, which will be appearing in paperback from ImaJinn in April of next year, and Dealing With David, a best- selling short contemporary published by Hard Shell Word Factory.

Katriena grew up in a podunkish town in the middle of a cornfield in East Central Illinois, and now lives in a podunkish town in the middle of the Colorado mountains with her husband, two children, four Siberian huskies and several very stupid aquarium fish. In her "spare" time she likes to read, watch TV, catch up on movies and play sword- and-sorcery computer games. She's a die-hard X-Files fan and knows more about Pokémon than anyone over the age of ten should ever know.
