Battling Glass - La série

Emilien has hidden himself away for endless years. Half-human and half-vampire, he has continually struggled with his own nature. His only contact is with a vampire named Carmen, who makes one critical error and brings the full force of vampire wrath down on Carmen, exposing Emilien and forcing him out of hiding. Saddled with a young mortal woman he can’t bring himself to kill, he flees with her to her brother’s house. Carl represents everything that Emilien yearns for, to live life like a normal mortal. As a result, he stays longer than he intends, until the reality of what he is comes crashing down around him. Emilien has been in love before—during the French Revolution, with a stable boy named Francois—but his vampire father shattered their love when he turned Francois into a vampire. It’s not the only thing his father, Alexander, has destroyed. Unable to accept Emilien’s humanity, Alexander has sought only to kill him, and even in the twenty-first century, his desire to vanquish his only son is as strong as ever. Emilien quickly realizes he can never have a future with Carl, or even come to terms with the love he still bears for Francois, until he and Alexander settle matters once and for all. Now, the past comes hurtling into the present when vampires take sides and the real battle between father and son commences...

The sequel to Battling Glass... Emilien has been with his human lover, Carl, for many years, but things have changed. Carl is aging and not coping well with the fact that Emilien still remains as young and beautiful as ever. Emilien suddenly realizes that he has taken too much from Carl’s life, and that he needs to leave him. But in leaving the man he loves, Emilien hits rock bottom, drowning in the realization that he can never really live the dream of mortality. Like in centuries past, he seeks to lose himself in vice to forget his pain. This sets him on a dangerous path and makes him vulnerable to his enemies. Meanwhile, Alexander has not abandoned the idea of wiping his son off the face of the Earth. In order to carry out his plan, he devises a scheme so diabolical that he must call upon the forces of evil to do it. Emilien, however, has never been alone in his battle. Francois, his eternal lover, still watches and waits. He and Emilien have reconnected over the years, and their passion for each other has never waned. Can Francois save Emilien this time, even when Emilien is about to completely disappear?
