The novel opens in 1843 where Marcus Verik, the first born of four siblings is living with his family. He is in the living room with Rafe and Bel the fraternal twins that are so similar in appearance one could mistake them for identical twins. However, they have very different personalities. Then there is Winter his younger sister who recently turned twenty three. While it is a vampire story, they are not vampires yet but will be soon enough. A vampire named Adrian who loves their mother very much just turned her as she was about to die. She had been a little insane and becoming a vampire just made her even more so. To be safe from her and be able to control her when she goes on the rampage they all decide to be turned into vampires. However, the real story is that of Ethan whose parents and siblings were killed by vampires when he was ten. He has always longed for revenge and now thinks the Veriks may know something about it. The Veriks had promised to help him get his revenge. But all thoughts of revenge usually fly out the window in the presence of the mind numbingly dark, tall and sexy Marcus Verik.

“Saving Rafe” the second novel of the “Lords of Discord” series is the story of Rafe, a risk taker, trouble maker and sexy club owner. He has devoted himself to the pursuit of mischief and pleasure and is always making wicked promises. Only his brothers ever depend on him to do anything as he never does a good thing for anybody outside the Verik clan. But when he is specifically approached by the chief of the Arsenault clan to help find a killer he has no choice but to oblige him. Of course he says that he is doing it for the Veriks since he believes that they need to make allies of the Arsenault’s, having made too many enemies in the recent past. But that is not the whole truth as Rafe is finding himself drawn to the enigmatic Philippe Arsenault. Whenever he leaves, he always finds himself craving his presence, another caress from his fingers and another taste of his lips. But when everything is done, what will become of Rafe and Philippe. Rafe is never going to stop being a Verik and Philippe will always remain an Arsenault.

“Waking Bel” the third novel of the series is the story of Beltran Varik, a man of science. He believes that all the answers we need can be found in science except for one.

The two are shifters that have been banished from their wolf pack and now have sought the protection of vampires. Being in Bel’s care might not be that safe as he could just kill them to ensure their safety. But over time, his feelings for the two werewolves becoming something he never expected. Unfortunately, Bel could be asked to choose between his family and the wolves as a fight fosters between the local packs while the Variks are facing a new threat from the Ministry.
