Book Description

Publication Date: May 11, 2009

Partnership in Blood Volume 3: Conflict in Blood by Ariel Tachna As the Alliance wizard-vampire partnerships grow stronger, the dark wizards feel the effects and become increasingly desperate to find enough information to counter them, unaware of the growing strain of the blood-magic bonds on the wizards and vampires alike. The conflict is spreading. The strife of uncomfortable relationships, both personal and professional, is threatening to tear up the Alliance from the inside, despite the efforts of Alain Magnier and Orlando St. Clair, Thierry Dumont and Sebastien Noyer, and even Raymond Payet and Jean Bellaiche, leader of the Paris vampires, who is fighting to establish a stable covenant with his own partner so he might lead by example. As the war rages on and heartbreaking casualties mount on both sides, the dark wizards keep searching for clues to understand and counter the strength of the Alliance, while the blood-bound Alliance partners hunt through ancient prejudices and forgotten lore to find an edge that can turn the tide of the war once and for all.

The war rages on; although the alliance with the vampires is increasing the Milice's wins, the leader of the dark wizards is incensed by this and starts to search for a way to get back on top. When Marcel and Jean officially announce the alliance, the dark wizards start to target vampires in order to try to fracture the alliance. Of course, they don't know about the partnership bonds. When they snatch Orlando in the midst of an operation, the heat is on. Will the Milice - will Alain - be able to rescue Orlando in time?

Another wonderfully plotted story, introducing a few new characters and giving us more insight into existing ones. My recommendations from prior books stand - check it out!

This series just keeps getting better and better. Alain and Orlando are still the central figures, but we continue to learn about more and more other partnered pairs. The war is getting more and more heated. And the alliance and partnerships are still struggling to find their individual balances. I especially love that things are not all happy endings and good beats evil. These books are about a war, and in war there are casualties. Brava to Tachna for letting that play out in this series.
