Save Sanctuary, save the world.
If Drest thought pouting would help, he would brood like the vampires from fiction. His first full night with Cae begins exactly as he expects, cozy, awkward, and a little bloody. But alarm bells go off and they find themselves in a fight to save Sanctuary.
The Lamia want to gain entrance, the boundary is failing, and the Council are sitting on their hands, hoping Drest fails.
Their enemy has knowledge about Sanctuary which no mortal had the right to share, but important details were left out. The Lamia don't expect the citizens of Sanctuary to fight back, let alone for them to work their magics together.
Vampires underestimate the power of alliance. It's a mistake they will pay for.
