After the Tournament of Blood, I've earned my coveted position within the ranks of the Slayers... but the cost was steep. Too steep. I am now one of the very creatures I swore vengeance against.

Awakening on the other side of death, I discover that I've been turned - I've become a vampire. If any hope remains to avenge the only mother I've ever known, I'm going to have to learn to control the monster inside of me and fast. Mercifully, I have Blake and Noah by my side to help me navigate this new phase of my undead life.

I soon realize that the romantic bond I assumed was one of soul mates, is in fact far deeper. The three of us are destined to be blood mates; mates for all eternity. But monsters like me don't get happily ever afters...

It's not long before Gabe and his Slayers expect Blake and I to come through and help them take down a rival vampire gang, Crimson Thirst. And while my goal aligns with theirs, I know I can't trust Gabe. He's like a blood-sucking puppeteer lurking behind the stage, forever pulling strings.

But when Gabe senses my reluctance, he sinks to new lows and uses one of my mates against me. He forces my hand and I have no choice. If I want to see Noah again, I must dance to Gabe's tune. At least I'll finally get my revenge... even if it means allowing the monster within to consume the very last of my humanity.
