Sometimes you win, sometimes you burn. Betrayed by Adrian, I must flee Paris with Leslie Tate. Taking refuge in his Italian compound, his energy-sucking associates promise to help if I pledge myself to their cause. But what if they’re just as bad as the vampires? They’re certainly keeping dangerous secrets, and wanting to wield me as a weapon is one of many. With Queen Brisa’s venom burning hot in my veins and an army of vampires seeking to either turn me or end me, I have no choice but to accept their offer. Our mission? Kill all vampires, starting with the remaining royals. Should be easy now that the blood bonds are the weakest they’ve been in centuries, but my stupid heart is still hopelessly in love with Adrian. Screw my heart, Adrian already broke it. It's his turn to be stabbed in the back.
