As she uncovers the dark truth surrounding his past, Aurora comes face-to-face with her burgeoning feelings for the man—and some in the small, isolated Alaska town aren’t happy about it. Her digging unearths a painful truth about the legacy of her father: a legendary figure in Nome. For Aurora, another lie connected to her seemingly cursed family background pushes her over the edge.

While helping the Death Givers stop the Disappearances, Aurora struggles with keeping her true identity—she is a vampire!—from Earth’s humans and deciding where exactly a romance with one of the Death Givers fits into the life that she becomes a part of. Will Aurora return home and regain her sword and her Special Power after her reckless actions ignite a deadly war? Or will she fall victim to a sacrifice curse that will cost her everything, including her worthiness and her life?
