Unholy J L Musgrave

When Ciara Calhoun left her family's castle home in the Scottish Highlands to pursue her dreams in Rome, Italy she had no way of knowing how much her life would be changed. Drawn into an ancient secret of heavenly proportions, Ciara is forced down a path of darkness, death, and despair. It would take an alliance of shapeshifters, immortals, vampires, and angels to bring Ciara back from the abyss. Can their unholy alliance save Ciara in time or will they be too late to pick up the shattered pieces of her cursed soul? The Immortal Legacy Series book four, Unholy, set in Rome, Italy explains the genetic origins of immortals, shape-shifters, and vampires through the interrelations of gods and angels with humans and the angelic assassins tasked with wiping them from the face of the earth. Unholy combines religious texts, myths, legends, and folklore from various regions of the world to weave a story of curses, fallen angels, and the destiny of their half human offspring. Unreal, book one of the Immortal Legacy series, tells the story of a compassionate young woman and the two immortal men who stole her heart. The concept of immortality is portrayed in this series as a genetic trait that upon the death of its carrier restores life and limb. Unreal sets the stage for the series introducing the concept of immortality as genetic, while playing off of true historical concepts such as the Greco-Persian wars and the Persian King Xerxes' "immortal" guard of ten-thousand men. Unreal is set in the Midwestern college town of Bloomington, Indiana, but ventures forth into Charleston, South Carolina during important climactic scenes. As the series progresses further details of the character's lives and immortality are revealed. Book two, Unearthed, touches on topics of vampirism as a virus, archeology, and the Moche peoples of Peru. Book three, Unchanged, introduces shape-shifters, set in the state of Wyoming and the Scottish Highlands.
