The Second Rebellion between vampires who want to eradicate humans and those who oppose has come to an end, and Adalric finds himself on the losing side of Behaest's, his older brother's war.
With Behaest imprisoned for a quarter millennium for raising a coup in the Empire, Adalric has become the next in line as the Leader of the Great Bloods.
He has roamed the earth for many centuries. He has observed every fragment of human nature under his piercing silver eyes, and deemed them unworthy creatures, useful merely for their blood.
Then a fateful night introduces him to Ilbert Quint, a young, boyish vampire hunter of the order Fratrum Venatorum, who is intent on killing him but by fate's pull, can not seem to do so.
Adalric finds himself sparing Ilbert, and the echoes of his brother's prophecy begins to ring truer than he thought possible.
The prophecy that he will fall in love with a mortal, of all beings.
Will his war against his own heart be won? Or will he finally give in to the hold that fate has placed between him and the vampire hunter with emerald eyes kissed by wildfire?
