Jolie Wilkins returns from time travel to find her position as Queen of the Underworld under siege. The Lurkers, a dangerous breed of half-humans, threaten to overrun her supernatural realm and destroy the undead under her protection. These enemies possess formidable power and refuse to surrender without a vicious fight. Jolie stands with her warlock boyfriend Rand Balfour, whose honor and bravery make him everything she desires in a partner. Yet she cannot stop thinking about Sinjin Sinclair, the seductive vampire who continues to captivate her thoughts. As the Lurkers press their attack and supernatural war erupts around her, Jolie must marshal her magical abilities to defend her kingdom. The battle tests not only her witchcraft but her heart, as she navigates the complicated feelings pulling her between two very different men while the fate of the Underworld hangs in the balance.
