Ash has broken free from the immortal cult that murdered her mother, but her salvation comes with a terrible price. Dane, the boy she loves, remains trapped under the control of Coronado, his ruthless ancestor who commands Europe's deadliest network of immortals. Coronado possesses vast wealth and power from his Spanish castle, and now he has possessed Dane himself. Dane pleads with Ash to come to Spain, insisting their blood bond can overcome Coronado's influence. Ash faces an impossible choice. She wants to free Dane from Coronado's grip without losing herself to the same dark forces that claimed him. But in a world where blood ties bind souls and cults demand ultimate sacrifice, saving the person you love might require destroying everything else. Sometimes holding onto light means burning down the world around you.
