Anita Blake confronts her greatest threat yet when The Harlequin arrive in her territory. These ancient enforcers strike such terror that even powerful vampires dare not speak their names aloud. Contact from The Harlequin means death is coming. Jean-Claude, the Master Vampire of the City, must join forces with Richard, the alpha werewolf who competes for Anita's heart. Shapeshifters Nathaniel and Micah rally to provide backup. But Anita knows she needs more help. She calls Edward, the one person who has never failed her when everything falls apart.
