Lina Jones has witnessed the dark and deadly side of Brandon Noble's nature as one of the Brethren, an ancient sect of ruthless vampires, firsthand. And true, for a time, she thought that birthright had torn them apart irrevocably and forever. Even so, she refuses to believe that Brandon would give in to his bloodthirsty instincts—especially against her. When she learns that Brandon savagely attacked her, leaving her for dead, she knows there must be more to the story. Her search answers will do more than force Lina to place her trust in those she has long considered mortal enemies, and lose faith in those she has come to hold most dear. Uncovering the truth will challenge everything she thought she knew about Brandon and their love—and about herself.
