Alisa has survived five thousand years as a vampire, her strength and cunning unmatched. Now she finds herself imprisoned in the weak form of a newly turned vampire, her ancient power reduced while her bloodlust rages uncontrolled. The Telar, an immortal species, plans to unleash a deadly virus that will wipe out the human race. Alisa knows she cannot stop them alone. She turns to the IIC, a shadowy organization that promises assistance but harbors its own agenda. With enemies on multiple fronts and allies she cannot trust, Alisa faces an impossible choice. She must embrace the darkest aspects of her vampire nature to have any hope of victory. The battle ahead will test everything she has learned across millennia of existence. Success might save humanity, but the cost could be her own destruction or the loss of whatever remains of her soul.
