The small Midwestern town of Orison Crossing is already anything but normal. But then the Archangel of the Apocalypse makes his presence known. A tragic hitch pauses Lucifer's plan to deliver Hell on Earth, but with strange lights haunting the forest, humans and vampires alike learn that "pause" does not equal "stop," because . . .
When the end is nigh, the Devil's in the details.
The Chaos that ensues after the soul crushing events in "Last Born Daughter" brings the world to the edge of apocalypse. And no one knows what's going on. Who's alive? Missing? Dead?
Who can be trusted when the Vampiric Nation's greatest allies become its largest threats? When Eric's sanity shreds by the day? As the Dark Spot hurtles to Earth? When Lucien locks the Arc of True Blood, admitting no one and refusing to leave?
As Lucifer gains footholds and the Four Horsemen ravage the world, Jonathan barely holds the High Council together. Alex and Kestrel pick through their pasts to move the Vampiric Nation forward into an unknown and equally uncertain future. But how can they keep hope alive when the ultimate omen of demise is hovering over Sunset Grove?
Meanwhile, alone at the top of the world, Lucien relives the 4,000 years of his life. His secrets may be the key the world's salvation, so when Jonathan finally manages to confront him, the question must be asked again: what does he truly desire? Deliverance? Or Destruction?
