Darien and Brennus have been together ever since that fateful night when they banished the evil Vortimere; but all is not bliss. Darien want-s Brennus to make him a vampire so that they can truly be together. Brennus can-t bear to take Darien-s life. This disagreement threatens to tear them apart once and for all. Meanwhile Brennus has been hearing a voice in his head, one which won-t stop talking to him, telling him its time to pay for his immortality-a voice which has come for his soul. As the Feast of the dead approaches and the spirits come to life, vampires walk and all is not as it seems.
