Remember when I said that secrets never stay buried? Well, neither does the past... Someone from Crispin's human life reemerges leaving us both reeling in shock. If that wasn't enough- My mate was dying, and I was hiding a secret that would change our lives forever. Suddenly, the threat of someone dethroning all the leaders became very real. We were in for the fight of our lives to save all vampirekind. Just another annual conclave at the Citadel, right?
