Vee's been living with Shane for nearly five months, but it's been far from domestic bliss. The pressure is mounting from both sides-the Watcher Elders and the Sha who govern the Weres-for her to reveal her parentage and her inherent powers. But when her adoption packet provides very few answers and a Vampire breaches their once-protected home, Shane and Vee must make an impossible choice. While leaving Kansas City behind may offer them a reprieve, it is also home to the unknown. Vee's blood is a tantalizing aroma to those who would do her harm, as well as others, who may have all the answers she's seeking.
