They send him to New York City with orders to track down what they believe is a single vampire serial killer stalking the streets. Joss leads his team of Slayers through the urban maze, following clues and bodies. Their investigation reveals the truth is worse than anyone imagined. Four vampire brothers are behind the killing spree that has gripped the city. Joss must stop all four before they claim more innocent lives. His future as a Slayer hangs in the balance.

Joss will need every skill he has learned to outmaneuver them and protect the people of New York.
