TIME IS AN ILLUSION. SECRETS ARE PROTECTION. DUPLICITY IS A REQUIREMENT. Three months have passed since Alexander was taken prisoner. In that time London has found itself in the grip of a new plague, the Newbloods have begun farming humans, and the Earth tips closer to apocalypse... Alexander isn't all he's purported to be. As Makayla searches for him, she discovers more questions that paint his character in duplicity. Did he use her? Did he have an agenda all along? Her search for truth will take her on an unexpected journey that will surpass and possibly unravel time itself. What she finds could be her undoing. While the humans race against time to find a cure for the new virus, the Shadow Seekers must work together to prevent the High Priestess Zobiana from controlling a power that could destroy them all. But when each of them is hiding something, their own secrets could destroy them first. And Alexander is fighting for more than just his life...

KILLING IS HER SPECIALTY. LEGEND HER REALITY. BLOOD HER DRUG OF CHOICE. Makayla Uriel is a Vampire Seraphim with a split personality. Her first impulse upon meeting her new partner is to bleed him dry. Her second is unthinkable. London is burning. A designer drug contaminated with a mutated strain of the Porphyria virus, V5, has hit the streets. Humans no longer need to be bitten to become Vampires. The Trinian Globe, an ancient artefact, has been stolen. Makayla is the one being who can prevent the inevitable apocalypse, and the one least likely to. Is trust possible when you must sacrifice everything? Will the Shadow Seekers save Earth and its Gateways? Can the global distribution of V5 be stopped? Who will triumph? SERAPHYMPIRE.
