The war with the high vampire governors is over. But Queen Emerald "Em" Slade has been betrayed by her maker, Joel Cast. She has been warned that he has lost his soul, and Em knows that as long as he lives, they are all in danger. Emerald and her mates, vampires Rory Laroche, Sylvester "Salt" Angelicas Lancaster Trantono, and shifter Russell Cane return to their fortress, only to discover the extent of Joel's evil. He wants Emerald back and is willing to do anything to get her. Gaelic Cast is now free of his brother's controlling nature, but he is at a loss as to what to do with that freedom. He is hopeful that he can now become a part of Em's life again. Together they face Joel and his followers, but will Em's desire for revenge cost them everything?
