First published 2008
Schuyler Van Alen faces her worst nightmare when other vampires question whether she carries Blue Blood or the deadly Silver Blood in her veins. She finds herself stuck in the Force mansion with Mimi Force, who despises her, and Jack Force, the boy she cannot have but cannot forget. The controversy over her heritage divides the vampire community just when they need unity most. Ancient forces threaten a sacred site in Rio de Janeiro, and the Blue Bloods must decide whether to trust Schuyler despite their doubts. She joins the mission to Brazil, where the battle turns violent and the costs mount quickly. Throughout the conflict, Schuyler struggles between her obligations to her people and her personal desires. Her feelings for Jack complicate every decision, especially as duty demands she sacrifice her own happiness. The third installment of the Blue Bloods series tests Schuyler's loyalty and resolve as she fights to prove her worth while navigating the dangerous politics of vampire society.
