Evaine’s first mistake was trusting a vampire, the second believing she could be one of them. Julien’s deceit fractured the Dark Blood Clan, destroying Evaine’s hopes and leaving only one option—run. Escaping monsters isn’t easy, even when you are one, and her uncommon talent has put a bullseye on her back, forcing her and Jacob to stay one step ahead. But how do you hide when your best friend is a homing beacon? Enemies become allies against the Ministerium Aevum’s omnipotent Luminary bent on hunting her for his nefarious plans of domination and her ruthless sire with an appetite for destruction. Running is no longer an option when everyone she cares about is in danger. Evaine’s only choice is to surrender. Unfortunately, not everyone agrees... When monsters converge, there is no easy way out. Not even Julien can save her from the creatures who have crawled from the darkest depths to claim her for their wicked devices.
