The Darkest Gift _ Revised edition

This is the story of Jack, who struggles with his sexual identity and meets the elegant yet incredibly mysterious Laurent Richelieu. Jack thinks his stroke of bad luck with men and women has ended, or is it the beginning of a nightmare? The two begin their courtship-during that time, Jack encounters many horrifying experiences involving vampirism, paranormal experiences, and possible reincarnation, making him question his sanity. The more time Jack spends with his mysterious European love interest Laurent, the more revealed about the dark secret awaiting Jack. Are they destined to be together? -does Laurent honestly care for Jack? Or is there a more sinister plot involved with two other vampires from Laurent's past, Stefan and Fabien? Can the help of a self-described Voodoo High Priestess, "Queen Raphaella," alter Jack's predestined future, or is his fate already sealed? The story covers many periods. From 18th century Paris to the later part of 20th century New Orleans and Haiti, where vampires roam and feast on the blood of innocent mortals, spirits appear, physical and spiritual love survives all odds, and good engages evil in an unwinnable battle.
