"A sleek, stylish, and sexy graphic novel." -- FOREWORD REVIEWS

"A beautiful drawn and very delicately told love story." -- SMASH PAGES

When the vampire Lucardo, a royal member of the Court of Night, fell in love with a 61-year-old mortal named Edmund Fiedler, their passion grew legendary before Lucardo's practical father intervened. After a furious search, Lucardo finally reunited with his aging lover, but was it too late?
Terminally ill with Shifter's Lung, filling his chest with blood and drowning him from the inside, Ed has finally collapsed. But fiery Lucardo is having none of it; in a panic he has gone against Ed's wishes, turning him over to the progenitor and god of his kind, the dreaded Silent Lord, in a last-ditch effort to escape death. Will Ed embrace the dark gift, living forever with his beloved? And what will it mean, surrendering himself to this uncaring, malevolent force that lives for nothing but tormenting those that call it "father?"
An erotic graphic novel that redefines a genre, this highly anticipated third installment of the Letters for Lucardo series takes a dark and foreboding turn in a captivating saga of immortal love.
