Anchorage, Alaska The vampire population may have created an economic boom in Alaska, but their altered energy field fries most technology. They rely on hard-living—and short-lived—couriers to get business done...couriers like Sydney Kildare. Sydney has survived to the ripe old age of twenty-six by being careful.
