Fallen Soul (War of Destiny) by Theresa Van Spankeren – Review by Roxsanne Lesieur.

Fallen Soul by Theresa Van Spankeren
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Lane Marlow is a vampire, but unlike most others, he lives alone and prefers his own company, but it is much more than that, not long after he was turned, he was forced to abandon the country of his birth and while discovering what it meant to have this new life, he was eventually shunned for the way he decided to live it, by feeding off of other vampires. At this time, the way Lane lived had made its way to the King of the vampires, Valentino and he wasn’t very impressed in the slightest, so he ordered his Council to apprehend Lane and deliver him to his prison cells, it was here that he was condemned to death, but Lane had other ideas and he escaped.

Nobody knows quite what happened to Lane in Valentino’s care, or how exactly he escaped and Lane keeps his cards very close to his chest, so he allows the rumours to follow him because it made his life easier in one way, but harder in another. All of this has led Valentino to decree that any vampire who sees Lane must kill him on site, but Lane isn’t easy to kill, so to keep his sanity in tact, he decides to return to his homeland, but makes a pit stop in Rome, this is where he runs into Valentino’s Council members again, but they aren’t the only ones.

As he is hunting, Lane comes across a group of vampires who are not what they seem and do not live like other vampires, they live with humans and they aren’t all scared of him, plus the most mystifying of all is that they don’t attack him onsite, in fact they help him! Lane is struggling to wrap his head around him, but colour him intrigued, he wants to know more, could this lead to an uneasy, but welcomed alliance, or are they just playing him and stringing along like others in his past and become just another obstacle to his return home? This is another fantasy adventure which is full of supernatural beings and danger which lurks in every shadow, where stories are exchanged and futures are uncertain, when the pasts bleeds into them.
