Overview

Serena Longer, First Councilwoman of the North American Region, is facing the toughest challenge of her lengthy vampire life. A war more brutal than The Time of Hunting is brewing. She must stop certain segments of vampire society that want an unrestricted license to hunt humans, and they’re willing to destroy anyone in their way. If the war erupts, there will be more than just vampire casualties. Already half-breed children--Vampire mother and human father--are being kidnapped and murdered.

The war isn’t the only thing heating up. Sexy Alexis Night Runner wants to be more than just a blood meal to Serena. Even if Serena believed in the vampire legend of True Love, there isn’t time for romance in her life. Serena is forced to do the unthinkable because the woman won’t take ‘no’ for an answer.

Beset on all sides, Serena must find a way to keep her People, and her heart, safe.
