With the Vatican safe once again, the Fang vanquished, scattered, and leaderless, Gabriel and Rebecca went back to their normal job-well, at least normal for them. After receiving word that the werewolf group called the Day Hunters had set up camp in Crete, in violation of a centuries-long treaty with Gabriel and the Vatican, and at the request of the Greek Government, Gabriel and Rebecca set out to remove them from the island and send them back to Sweden.

Before they go to the island, Gabriel makes a stop in Athens to meet up with an old friend to find out what the Day Hunters' plans are. Lamary, the leader of the Day Hunters, is bound and determined to exact revenge on Gabriel for the death of his leader and friend so many years ago. In such a time, old enemies often become friends to take care of the mutual problem-even if it is just temporary.

With the planning of the old enemy and the assistance of the Day Hunters, the plot to take out Gabriel once and for all is in motion. As the two sides grow closer to battle, unexpected surprises arrive on both sides that just might destroy them both.
