I’ve spent a lifetime hiding my identity just to survive. I’ve concealed my true nature from our vampire overlords, including the one who’s captured my heart, and I’ve kept my friends at arm’s length to protect us both. And now I stand to lose them all because of it. With the final ancient stone up for grabs, I face my toughest challenge yet—seek help from friends and enemies alike, or go it alone like I always have. A battle looms for control of the stones—a battle that might finally force me to embrace the full extent of my magic. Magic so powerful that it just might kill me. But if it comes down to a choice between my survival or the realm’s, I know which one I’ll choose. The fate of the world depends on it.
