Emily's life changes forever when a dark master makes her a vampire. He claims she's the reincarnation of his first love, found and lost four times in eight hundred years. She thinks he's crazy, until the dreams of other lives begin, with two things in common -- Nicholas and tragic endings. As she copes with her new state as a vampire under his jaded tutelage, Emily wonders how this time can be any different -- especially when Nicholas' sire and sworn enemy appears to wreak havoc on both of them.
