Jack promised to help her die and untangle herself from the bonds of family.But Jack is missing, and disease spreads like tendrils of ink through the netherworld.As Mina struggles to find a way to release Cam and retrieve Jack, she discovers a powerful bargaining chip. But using it might cost her her life. Or worse, her soul.Can Mina save the people she loves without losing herself?

It was supposed to be one night to blow off steam. But one thing led to another. One look across the dance floor. One sexy stranger invited home. One playful bite too many. One night that changed Mina Sun's life. She wakes up to find she's a reluctant vampire caught in the middle of an ancient battle between opposing forces that both want a piece of her. As she struggles to adapt to life as one of the undead, and come to terms with her unnatural thirst and unexpected hungers, a new threat arises - part terrifying myth, part half-forgotten legend. This threat jeopardizes the precarious ceasefire between warring vampire factions, and puts everything she loves - her city, her family, her friends - in danger. Can Mina protect them from the darkness that's descending, and can she save herself?
