The Directorate is the organization that decides the rules and regulations for vampire behavior. If a vampire disobeys them he can be sanctioned with the ultimate punishment of the True Death. Revelin Scott is the chief enforcer of the Directorate and his latest assignment sends him to Baton Rouge. A group of rogue vampires are flaunting the rules by creating aberrations, humans forced to take vampire blood and become slaves to the vampire they drink from.

Revelin must destroy all the vampires and he is forced to accept the help of the mortal woman Deni Geron whose brother was killed by the rogues. When they arrive at their destination, Revelin, with the help of Deni, is able to infiltrate the group, but he finds he is unable to kill the head of the group. Again, he must depend on Deni to help him but if she fails, they will both die.

Revelin Scott was chosen for this job for his supposed immunity to the charms of mortal women yet it is Deni’s love for him that will be his salvation. Their co-dependence in the work arena spills over into their personal lives forming a bond that is necessary for the story line to work. IMMORTAL IMAGE is a delightfully refreshing vampire romance that will satisfy any one interested in the nosferatu.
