After Panthaos’s murder and the destruction of the Noir Lion coven in Paris, the hybrids are nearly extinct, thanks to Kaysee and the members of the Milite Coven. It is peacetime, as Dominic and Kaysee’s bond is even stronger, trust is regained and they vow to be more of a team than they were in the past. There are no monsters to threaten their now peaceful existence in Tuscany, until the Belluomos receive an invitation to a gala in Rome they cannot refuse. Claudia Mandra’s idea to lure the Belluomo family to this gala in Rome is to introduce hers and Dominic’s son, Adrian Belluomo Mandra, with the idea to tear this close couple apart by driving a wedge of betrayal between them. Her jealousy and hatred for Kaysee only enhances the dark magic the half witch-half vampire is able to dole out on her enemies. Will Dominic be weak to succumb to Claudia’s whims and leave Kaysee vulnerable? Or will the devout devotion and love he has for his wife bring Claudia’s reign as self-proclaimed Queen of all Arcane to an end?
