The Cardinal Code. Absolution - Avery Sterling;Stella Ehrhardt

The Cardinal Code: Absolution continues the dark, seductive saga of the Cardinales-an elite society of vampires whose influence shapes governments, history, and the hidden world beneath human civilization.

Michael Chamberlain and Paislee Sullivan finally have a chance to breathe-away from chaos, away from the Order, away from the world that nearly tore them apart.

But the Cardinalis Order does not forget.

When old expectations resurface and long-buried truths begin to unravel, the fragile peace they've built begins to fracture. Michael is pulled toward a legacy he has spent his life resisting, while Paislee must confront the reality of loving a man whose name carries power, history, and consequence.

The deeper their bond grows, the more dangerous it becomes.

Because in a world ruled by blood and influence, love is never just love.

Peace was never meant to last.

But some bonds refuse to break.

Return to a world of shadows, desire, and forbidden devotion in Book Two of The Cardinal Code series.
