Chaos, death, and dark secrets seem to surround Ivy more than ever before, and the closer she gets to the truth of her past, the less she can trust the people around her. Especially Jackson. The one person she thought she could trust has now shattered the man she thought he was. But he's not the only man in Ivy's life. An old flame, Griffin, has returned unexpectedly, making it difficult for Ivy to not only hide her secrets but to control her bloodlust. What else can she learn about her past? Can Griffin be a part of her new life and help uncover the truth?
Now that he's back in the picture, Ivy is more determined than ever to find out what else has Jackson hidden from her this time and is unsure if this will make or break their relationship. Unfortunately, Ivy has a more severe issue at hand. Leader of the Vampire Council, Artimis, has announced war on the unknown enemy in the wake of Zach and Calix's death, and Ivy has to choose to either fight or go against the council. Will she stay loyal to her clan? Can she step aside and lead a different path of her own destiny? Or will she be the next to burn?
Ari and Soren's adventures continue as Soren struggles with his new vampiric urges and a coven of witches attempts to recruit Ari for their own ends.
*****
As dark dreams plague Soren, Ari finds his new abilities difficult to control. Something is awakening within him, and as his power grows, he attracts the attention of a group of witches who call themselves the Hecataeon. They believe Ari is an emanation of the goddess Hecate - a physical manifestation of her power - and they want that power for themselves. With their relationship facing challenges from within, Ari and Soren must find a way to unite their strengths before external forces tear them apart.
