The Darkest Passages – The sequel to The Darkest Gift by Len Handeland
Fabien Levesque has endured intense suffering since his creator and ex-lover, Stefan, turned him into a reluctant vampire. Stefan forced Fabien to use humans as a never-ending blood supply, almost driving Fabien to insanity. After pleading for release, Stefan finally agreed but prohibited Fabien from creating another vampire. Despite this, Fabien disobeyed and fell in love with Laurent Richelieu, who turned him into his vampire companion. Stefan returns, intending to destroy the newly created vampire, but accidentally destroys Fabien. Decades later, Fabien’s spirit materializes before Laurent in New Orleans, who fled Paris to escape Stefan’s wrath. Fabien and Laurent plan to possess the body of Jack Devereaux, who happens to be Raphaella’s good friend and Fabien’s counterpart. They hypnotize Raphaella and summon the spirits of Stefan’s victims to help destroy him and send him to the fiery pits of hell. Although they succeed, Raphaella discovers that Fabien has overtaken Jack’s body and summons Stefan’s spirit back. The nightmare continues as the vengeful voodoo priestess Raphaella seeks retribution.
Together, their formidable evil allows Stefan to possess the body of Fabien’s lover, Laurent Richelieu. Forced to flee the city and the man he loves, Fabien leaves New Orleans and finds refuge in San Francisco, where he crosses paths with the enigmatic vampire royalty, whose motives are as mysterious as their power, and a renowned deadly vampire hunter, whose skills are as lethal as his reputation.
The path to united vengeance becomes clear as Fabien discovers his powerful allies share his desire to defeat Stefan. Yet, the challenge remains: persuading Raphaella to use her voodoo magic to free Stefan’s spirit from Laurent’s body.
If he fails, mortals everywhere will become innocent victims of Stefan’s unrelenting blood lust, his insatiable hunger for human life leading to a massacre of unimaginable proportions. Soon, his army of vampires, a relentless force of darkness and death, will destroy all of humanity, plunging the world into eternal night.
