Sir Valeir Beaufort, vampire nobility, is on the run. His only companion? A woman trained to hunt and kill his kind. 

The betrayal that forced Valeri to flee for his life is only a small part of a much larger conspiracy. The tentative peace between humans and the supernatural creatures that live in Samodevia's shadows is under threat. Who is it that wishes to push the kingdom into war, and what is their final purpose?

***

[Sequel to SERPENT'S KISS] 

Ira Hale is branded a traitor and a killer for saving the life of a vampire. Hunted by the people she once served, Ira must uncover the truth behind the atrocities at Beaufort Manor in order to save her friends and clear her own name. Sir Valeri Beaufort, Ira's once-employer and now sort-of family, joins her quest, seeking vengeance against the people who burned his life to the ground.

The Kingdom in Samodevia is in turmoil. Ira and Valeri must navigate a treacherous road in their search for answers. Allies are not easily told apart from foes - all approach with smiling faces, but may hide knives behind their backs.

Echoes of oncoming war find their way to the Kingdoms Below, into the ears of the Queen of Hel and her court of powerful misfits. When Gabriel Todd returns with news of treachery in the lands Above and asks for help in saving a human soldier who carries Gabriel's soul, Hel must decide whether to become involved in Samodevia's politics or retain neutrality. 

And where, all wonder, is Samodevia's Queen?
