Jane Yellowrock transforms into animal form when needed, but her shapeshifting abilities may not be enough for her newest assignment. A vampire witch from the European Council has arrived in New Orleans with personal vendettas to settle. These ancient beings have spent centuries manipulating governments and sparking wars across the globe. Now one of their most dangerous members threatens the Big Easy directly. Jane runs Yellowrock Securities with her team: a technology expert and a former Army ranger. Together they must locate this supernatural target before he unleashes chaos on the city. The European Council's vampire witches possess power that dwarfs ordinary bloodsuckers. Jane has built her reputation destroying regular vampires, but this opponent operates on a different level entirely. She will risk everything to protect New Orleans, even if it means facing an enemy who has survived for hundreds of years by leaving destruction behind him.
