The only sign of hope comes from Ireland, from the one person her overprotective father will never trust. Even so, there's only one way out of the war, and that involves travelling for weeks, all the while avoiding a new breed of vampires, seemingly indestructible monsters. The taint inside her makes Jessica strong, but if she loses herself to it, her own father will take her life. If the vampires don't kill her, her father just might...
