Cat Crawfield thought she and her vampire husband Bones had finally earned some peace. They survived countless battles and protected their hard-won relationship against every threat. Now Cat possesses strange new powers that could disrupt the delicate balance between supernatural species. Vampires are vanishing without explanation across the country. A fanatic stirs up hatred between vampires and ghouls, pushing both groups toward open warfare. If these ancient enemies clash, human casualties will mount quickly. Cat and Bones have no choice but to travel to New Orleans and strike a bargain with the ghoul queen herself. This powerful ruler might help them stop the conflict before it explodes into full-scale war. But her assistance comes with a steep price that could prove more dangerous than the brewing battle. Cat must decide how much she will sacrifice to protect innocent lives, even as her new abilities threaten consequences she never anticipated.
