The next generation of the Knights of Black Swan have been inducted and vested with all the privileges and responsibilities of the legends in whose shadows they took their training. They are coming into their prime as servants of The Order, but still have most of their lives ahead. Or so each one hopes.New York Times and USA Today bestselling author, Victoria Danann, brings us a sizzling new take on the Knights of Black Swan. The boys are all grown up and bursting at the seams looking for action. Kristoph Falcon and his best friend were the only trainees to be decorated in the entire five hundred year history of the order. While still teenagers, in the heat of battle, they'd fearlessly defended Jefferson Unit with the calm and control of seasoned knights. They'd also accidentally crossed paths with active duty knights on rotation one night in New York and taken point on a vampire run down. The year before, Falcon had gone AWOL to chase down a girl who didn't return his affection. Since there were extenuating circumstances, meaning that she'd been turned vampire, Black Swan eventually allowed him to return to duty.He's patched up psychologically and in his physical prime, but his emotions are still a tangled mess. The three teammates, who look up to him as the de facto leader of K Team, know it, but don't know what to do. With the vampire incursion growing exponentially they need him at his best, but are at a loss until they see him running from the overtures of a cute and perky new Operations Manager. She might just the medicine he needs to get his head back on straight and the sugar he needs to get his heart pumping again. less
