Lucas thought all his troubles were over when he fulfilled his ambition to find the succubus Josie Dubois and return her to her parents and their varied supernatural friends on a tropical island paradise. Giving her time to come to terms with her new life, including the unfamiliar freedoms and choices it came with, including whether to make a lifelong bond with him, was the only option for Lucas, but time was not on their side. Her freedom was negotiated, but his was stolen at the cost of vampire lives, and they want him to pay for the deaths by hurting the ones he loves.
