Persistent Memory
Elizabeth Jewell
Abused by his father as a child, Alex has found healing in the arms of Liam, his
vampire boss. But when strange magic bares the darkest sides of their souls, will
their tentative relationship be shattered beyond repair?
Chapter One
“At some point,” Liam says, closing the massive, musty research tome, “you just
have to take a break.”
Alex nods, though he’s disappointed. They’ve been working together for several
hours, trying to identify the strange artifact their latest client has asked them to
research. It’s a cross, wooden, with arcane carvings over its surface that neither of them
has been able to identify, much less translate. “Where else can we look?” It’s a
legitimate question -- they’ve exhausted the company library, which is extensive. If they
can’t track the thing down there, Alex isn’t sure where they can.
Liam’s the most experienced and successful vampire hunter in the area, at least
partially because, as a vampire himself, he has an insider’s perspective on those they
hunt. The vampires have been quiet lately, though. Liam says it’s because the
midsummer lack of darkness slows them down. Liam doesn’t seem slowed much,
though. With the slacking off of hunting season, he’s taken on some research work,
making use of the comprehensive library and two hundred and seventy-seven years of
personal experience to provide clients with information about various and sundry
arcane artifacts.
This one has them stumped. Liam has had it in his possession nearly a week
now, and has made little progress with identification. Alex is fairly certain tonight’s
research is a last-ditch effort to keep from losing the client, as well as the nice advance
he’s already paid them. Unfortunately, the several hours of work have proved no more
fruitful than any of the previous work involving the arcane cross.
But Liam seems unconcerned. He shrugs. “I have some sources I can talk to. See
if we can follow up some additional leads. We’ll figure it out.”
