A new vampire inhabiting Richard's castle, a stranger with the alleged knife of the Akedah, a malevolent werewolf stalking Ceese, and the impossible-to-kill Dr. Henderson. Now mortal once again, Richard and Ceese thought their troubles were behind them. What will they do when they learn that isn't true? And how will they survive the new evil that threatens to destroy them all? "Insightful, thought provoking . . . Well worth the wait!" —Maryann Boo, British Fantasy Society reviewer. "Sue Dent's characters lept off the page and into my mind, as alive as the viewer reading them." —Horrorphilia
