Absent in Absinthe

All the vampyress Alidri ever wanted to do after the war ended was find the cure to a poisonous curse that racks her Ordög slave and would-be lover, Adora, and keeps them forever apart. But when an ancient Queen of Zombies rises to threaten the rightful crown of Vespertavia, Alidri heeds the call to battle.

Abandoning her quest, Alidri puts her love aside and swears to destroy the Zombie Queen and her hordes of undead. But she is shocked to discover the Queen is none other than her sister she thought dead these past hundred years. Torn between duty to family and duty to the crown, Alidri is thrust into a conflict that will put both her and Adora--and their love--to the hazard.

As her sister’s undead army closes in, the cure for Adora slips farther and farther away. Every night Alidri fights alongside Adora is torture--forever by her side, forever unable to touch her, to kiss her, to take her as she wants. To make matters worse, Alidri learns her sister needs only one thing to realize her true power--the blood of the last living Ordög. Adora.

When her sister kidnaps Adora with the intent on sacrificing her, Alidri is forced to face the Queen of Zombies on the field of battle and fight for what is most important to her. But will she choose her duty to the Crown or her love for Adora?
