Fury's Kiss

**Fury's Kiss** is book #3 of the Dorina Basarab series.

## Brief Synopsis

**From the book jacket**:

**Dorina Basarab** is a Dhampir—half-human, half-vampire. Subject to uncontrollable rages, most dhampirs live very short, very violent lives. But so far, Dory has managed to maintain her sanity by unleashing her anger on those demons and vampires who deserve killing...

Dory is used to fighting hard and nasty. So when she wakes up in a strange scientific lab with a strange man standing over her, her first instinct is to take his head off. Luckily, the man is actually the master vampire Louis-Cesare, so he’s not an easy kill.

It turns out that Dory had been working with a Vampire Senate task force on the smuggling of magical items and weaponry out of Faerie when she was captured and brought to the lab. But when Louis-Cesare rescues her, she has no memory of what happened to her.

To find out what was done to her—and who is behind it—Dory will have to face off with Fallen Angels, the maddest of mad scientists, and a new breed of vampires that are far worse than undead… ~ Take A Chance: Books

Book Review: Karen Chance's Fury's Kiss - KD Did It Edits

* **Dorina Basarab** is dhampir. Half-human and half-vampire. Dorina is her other half and the equivalent of a first-level master, totally insane.
* Mircea Basarab is Dory's father (see the Cassie Palmer series); he’s a senator on the North American Vampire Senate and was cursed with vampirism, not bitten.
* Radu Basarab is Mircea’s younger brother, brilliant, and totally not with that whole concept of blending in.

* **Louis-Cesare de Bourbon**: is in love with Dory (and vice versa, but don’t let Dory hear you say it! She’s deep in denial.) There are hints that he’s a twin of a son of Louis XIII (from the Man in the Iron Mask tale) and was turned by Radu. Louis-Cesare is also a master swordsman. He had been the Enforcer for the European Senate, but he got caught out in his nasty little secret (Death’s Mistress).
* **Verrell**: Louis-Cesare’s chef.

* **Lawrence**: is one of Marlowe’s vampires and Dory’s partner on the spectacularly failed mission.
* **Anthony** is a master vampire and the European consul, who owes Dory.
* **Ming-de**: The tiny, yet extremely powerful empress of the Chinese court. T
