‘"I watched as he comprehended what it was that he saw on my face, in my eyes. And I watched as a part of him shut down, locked away from me forever.

“You are my most magnificent obsession, Lucinda. My treasure. My saviour. My heart. I care not if the Bond chooses to remind me of this fact. I wish never to lose that knowledge again. It is a small sacrifice to have it work its wonder.” After battling possessed shapeshifters and reanimated corpses, Lucinda Monk-Durand thought she could handle anything thrown at her by the Old Gods. After all, she’s a vampire hunter by birth and Kindred to the Champion of the Iunctio. But Apep, God of the Underworld, is not finished using her in his eternal war against Ra. And he has allies that are capable of such horrors. As a new group of supernaturals moves into Auckland City, storm clouds gather overhead, blocking out the Light. Earthquakes abound as a snake is seen slithering through the shadows. And something so very precious is stolen from our girl. Evernight is here, and it brings with it Luce’s worst nightmare. She’s only just got him back, and now the Lord of Chaos has struck a blow to her heart. But Luce has gods-given gifts and has just received another. These paranormals don’t know what’s about to hit them ... if only she can trust the gifts, of course.

"His lips met mine again, this time in a slow, soft caress, conveying everything he had just said in those beautiful words that had reached my very soul. I could have drowned in that kiss. I could have lived there for eternity. It filled me up with everything I needed to survive. He gave me life through his lips and I treasured it.’" Recovering from recent losses, Lucinda finds herself in a Dark place. She starts to doubt who she has become. She seeks reassurance, that despite the Prophecy 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 other’s. He has not forgotten her and will do anything, anything at all to make her his. Loyalties are tested and fall short, and Lucinda must find the strength to fight for something she cannot even remember. But, that is not all Lucinda must battle. 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. Will she never give herself completely to Michel? And if she does, will it be enough to save her? And enough to save the Light from the Dark once and for all?

Who is she? That is the question that haunts her, and she's about to find out. When one of the strangers--beautiful, haunted Akiva--fixes his fire-colored eyes on her in an alley in Marrakesh, the result is blood and starlight, secrets unveiled, and a star-crossed love whose roots drink deep of a violent past.
