Cronin's Key III

Twelve months after his transformation, Alec MacAidan continues to explore his vampire abilities while yearning for peace and solitude with Cronin. When encounters with mysterious, gargoyle-like entities called Zoan—half-lycan, half-dragon—reveal a greater complexity beyond their stone-like appearance, Alec embarks on a worldwide journey through Paris, Rome, and Moscow. As he uncovers the secret meanings behind these creatures and the true purpose of the Key in underground chambers, Alec must rely on all his skills—and sometimes the help of the dead—to face new challenges and protect those he cares about.
