Then Chase meets Tavia Fairchild. Something about her calls to him, and he senses she harbors secrets of her own. Tavia knows she should stay away from Chase, but he awakens a hunger she cannot ignore. As Dragos prepares his final assault, Chase and Tavia find themselves caught in the crossfire. The vampire nation teeters on the brink of discovery. Ancient enemies gather their forces. Time runs short for the Order to prevent catastrophe.
