The Gilded Cross

Nightwalker, Book 2

By: Theophilus Monroe

Narrated by: Kelley Hazen

A new dawn, a new weapon.

Alice thought she understood her purpose.

She was the first Nightwalker, a vampire made to hunt her own kind.

But the Order of the Morning Dawn has a new creation.

A rebellious progeny, forged by Alice's own bite.

Loyal only to the Order, he wields a glowing silver crucifix, a "Gilded Cross."

They claim its light is celestial, a gift from angels.

Alice, secretly sustained by the Eucharist, suspects a darker origin.

Could this holy light be born of the very witchcraft the Order condemns?

As the lines between good and evil blur, Alice must uncover the truth.

Is the Order truly fighting darkness, or are they the greater evil?

And can she save her soul when her own creation is turned against her?

In 1891 Alice Bladewell lost her human life. It was when her new existence began. For more than a century, she was an agent of the Order of the Morning Dawn, a pseudo-religious organization dedicated to the elimination of all vampires and witches.

You've learned about Alice before in The Legacy/Fury of a Vampire Witch, in The Legend of Nyx, and in Alice in Vampireland.

This is Alice's story. How she became a vampire, made to kill other vampires — and how she became the nightmare that the Order feared the most.

awesome book

Great book with exciting character. Love Alice to pieces and am enjoying learning about her early life. Each new book expands on her early years and fills in the gaps of her persona to give me a bit more interspection on her. Keep the books coming on her and her life. The character were well played and brought my imagination to life.

Alice

I just love Theophilus Monroe’s work! This is the first audio book I have listened to of his and I kind of prefer reading it. That being said only made my commute positively delightful and I will be buying some of the series. 1 credit is a steal for them.

Alice is such a sympathetic character. She really gets the shaft but at least not the steak! So good of a story!.

Losing Ground

The narration was emotional as Alice is struggling between her faith and what she has become. Losing the only person that has kept her grounded is a complication she has to overcome. This intensity was well done by the narrator.
