Reed Williams is losing ground and fast. Still a vampire, he must contend with his new nature, control his destructive power, and hunt for blood--an appalling necessity. Before his humanity slips further, he's determined to find a way back, while he still can. But the way is elusive and fraught with danger. Reed must navigate sunless Philadelphia and the competing agendas of its shadowy denizens. With secret societies, strange occultists, desperate outcasts, and creatures wriggling in the bowels of the city, Reed needs to know whom to trust as he seeks a cure. Perhaps a woman, whose attitude and power match his own, holds the answer. She may help him, but then again, she may burn everything they both love to ashes.
