Book three in the 'Serenity' series... Living in Jackson's cold embrace, Serenity no longer remembers who she is. Repeat feedings have left her a mere shell of a person and she has no recollections of her past life, though the sense that she isn't alone often haunts her. Back in Los Angeles, Sebastian has never given up hope of finding her again. Their daughter, Elizabeth, experiences visions of Serenity's new existence and together they track her across the country. But finding Serenity might prove to be the least of their problems. When Sebastian seeks the help of an older vampire, Demitrios, the family find themselves in the fight of their lives.

Since meeting Serenity eight years ago, vampire Sebastian Bandores’ whole existence has been about protecting his family. But when an unexpected question causes a rift between the unlikely couple, Sebastian finds himself with a dead body and no recollection of killing him. Serenity sees something dark in Sebastian’s face and feels as though she’s being haunted, both by her inability to let go of her past and by things happening in the house. When Sebastian’s strengths start to fail him, the couple seek help from a friend they’re unsure they can trust. As Sebastian loses his grip on the real world, Serenity fears they may be too late. And after everything they’d been through during the past eight years, Sebastian never imagined he’d be the one who’d need saving.

Serenity has no idea how to handle her rapidly changing daughter, but she knows one thing; Elizabeth needs her father around. As Los Angeles is plunged into darkness and danger, life is about to get a lot worse, not just for Elizabeth but for Serenity and Sebastian too. A balance has been disrupted and the world as they know it may be about to change...
