Twenty years after First Dawn exposed vampires to humanity, Mira commands a squad within the Order, an elite force of Breed warriors maintaining fragile peace between the species. She has loved Kellan Archer since childhood, when one night of passion broke through his defenses before he vanished without explanation. Now Kellan leads human rebels who reject the Order's authority, pursuing their own violent justice. When a high-stakes kidnapping mission forces them together, Mira must face the man who abandoned her while navigating the growing tensions that threaten to shatter the uneasy coexistence between vampires and humans.
