Will is perfectly happy living alone in the Nevada wilderness. He stays out of vampire politics and avoids the Toiseach of Nevada territory as much as possible. But when Marcus comes knocking at his door with a mission he can’t refuse, he has no idea how much of his life is about to change as the past crashes back into his life. Two centuries ago, Cecelia fell in love with a cadet from West Point. Her father forbade the match, making her leave Will, and their dreams for a future behind. Now they’re reunited and doing their best to put an angry ghost to rest.
