Diana Thorpe doesn't remember anything that happened last summer, even though she can tell it was something bad from the way her cousin is acting. In her sleepy town on the English coast it feels like her life will never change, but darkness is coming, and it threatens to consume all she holds dear. Soon, events are set into motion that cannot be stopped. A dangerous discovery of an ancient power dwelling in her bones could spell trouble for Diana and those she loves. And amongst it all is vampire lord, Victor Thornwood, a figure who always lingers in the edge of her mind and is insistent that they've met before. Together, will they stop the coming darkness, or will they watch Silver Hills burn?
