  Rhode squeezed my hand. ‘I love you,’ he said one more time. There was no word for what we had. Anam Cara. Soulmate. Love. It didn’t matter, the label.

  Because I was Lenah Beaudonte.

  Girl. Lover. Sister. Daughter. Queen, to some . . .

  And I was free.

  ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

  Thank you to Margaret Riley and the whole WME family, who have supported Lenah’s story from the beginning.

  To the VCFA community, especially A.M. Jenkins, Franny Billingsley, Hannah Moderow and Kristin Derwich.

  To the CCW’s, the classiest and most wonderful collection of women I have ever had the pleasure to know. Thank you for the time we have spent on Lenah’s story and for helping me to craft this story. I am so grateful for you and for all we have accomplished together.

  To my editors over the years in the UK: Claire Creek, Polly Nolan, Emma Young, Ruth Alltimes and Rebecca McNally. Your belief in this story and Lenah’s character has been crucial in my growth not only as a writer, but as an artist. I’m a better writer having worked with you.

  Infinite Days

  Stolen Night

  Eternal Dawn

  Praise for Infinite Days:

  ‘Infinite Days is a grab-you-by-the-throat, ignore-the-world-around-you, fall-completely-in-love-with kind of book, the kind I haven’t really read since Twilight. Yep. I just used the T-word’ AllThingsUrbanFantasy

  ‘Infinite Days builds to an exciting conclusion, and leaves the door wide open for a kick-ass sequel’ WondrousReads

  ‘There is no other vampire book like it and if you have a love for immortals but are fed up with reading more or less the same story over and over again, then Infinite Days is the ideal book to pick up . . . Maizel’s writing is beautiful . . . Her voice is very unique and has an eloquence to it that I wish we could see more of in young adult fiction’ YABookReads

  ‘I found myself thinking about this novel long after I’d put it down . . . It plays around but still retains the haunting and tortured tone of all the best vampire stories’ Amazon

  Praise for Stolen Night:

  ‘I can’t wait to see where the author takes Lenah next. With thoughtful notions, intriguing mystery and compelling characters, Stolen Night makes the Vampire Queen Series a must-read’ TheYoungFolks

  ‘Be prepared to be blown away by Stolen Night because it’s not one you want to miss!’ BookPassionForLife
