A five-thousand-year-old woman who has outlived empires and a doctor who's spent his life fighting death collide in this novella from New York Times bestselling author Ali Hazelwood.
Lilit of Nineveh has spent millennia in control. As a powerful revenant, she enforces one rule above all: protect mortals. Disciplined and focused, she has never made the same mistake twice, and she has learned that attachments can only lead to ruin.
Enter Roman Martin. An overworked and relentlessly kind ER physician, he is the one mortal Lilit cannot quit. Any relationship between them is against everything Lilit has fought for. Still, she keeps coming back to him.
Until someone starts hunting Lilit, and Roman is caught in the crossfire. When everything comes crashing down, Lilit must choose between the world she has sworn to protect and the man she was never meant to love.
"Narrators Tara Fatehi and Dean Miller bring this simmering novella to life with their enchanting voices. Fatehi provides the main narration as Lilit of Nineveh, a 5,000-year-old revenant, or vampire. Fatehi's soft British Iranian accent and expressive narration carry listeners through Lilit's story. For ten years, Lilit has been seeing Dr. Roman Martin, an ER physician voiced by Miller. Just as she realizes their dalliances may be evolving into something real, Roman breaks it off. Miller's serious but warm narration is well suited for Roman. When Lilit's world of secrecy puts Roman's life in real danger, she must choose between her loyalties and her heart.
Full of political intrigue, complex dynamics, and yearning, this audiobook novella is a bite-sized delight."
