Recovering from recent losses, Lucinda finds herself in a Dark place. She seeks reassurance, that despite the Prophesy and what that has meant for her life, she is still remaining true to herself. The American Families of Vampires close in on Lucinda and her kindred. There is one who insists Lucinda is his and none others. Loyalties are tested and fall short, and Lucinda must find the strength to fight for something she cannot even remember. The Queen of Darkness appears in amongst the mayhem to exact her plans for Dark's success and the final confrontation of Light and Dark comes to a head. Without the steadfast support and love of her kindred, Lucinda would not be able to face what is to come, but still, she holds something of herself back.
