The darkness is new and Brenna is learning what it means to be a vampire. She tries to discover why the Angel of Death, Azrael, has been appearing to her, imparting cryptic messages. Confusing as his riddles are, they make sense in the end, leading Brenna to reach out to Miranda. Miranda has had a haunting nightmare for years, which finally becomes real. Although Miranda doesn't expect Julien to be her nightmare made flesh, when she finds her friends murdered, she realizes that she is the vampire's new target. Time is growing short for Miranda as she falls under Julien's spell. Brenna must risk her very soul to save Miranda, while Azrael hovers on the edge of Brenna's thoughts. What does he want with her? Has he come to collect her soul? Brenna must find Miranda or Miranda will be lost forever.

The Heavens are rumbling and there are murmuers of war. Brenna hears the pounding drums, but can only think of one thing. Azrael, the Angel of Death. She thought being a vampire was difficult, but becoming an angel is even harder. Her desires run her hot and cold and everything she knows is falling down around her while all she yearns for is her soulmate. Azrael has kept himself away from Brenna, hoping to stop the war. However, the angels are falling around him. There is nothing to be done even when he hears Brenna's forlon cries. To go to her would ignite the war. Will Azrael risk it all just to appease the one he loves, or will his Heavenly duties take presedent. To make matters, worse there is a dark force rising from the bowels of the universe and Maestema has his eye on one thing. Ruling over everything and creating a paradise for his demons. In order to learn her new powers and save the world, Brenna must travel to the outer reaches of the galaxy and confront her own inner demons. Will the world be saved? Will Azrael hear her cries? Will Brenna face the darkest evil of all? Or will the whole of humanity be damned for all time?
