Zero finds being Stride's Blood Slave creates havoc for them both. They need each other for survival, but now Zero must also cope with his deepening love for the seemingly impervious Vampire Warrior.

In Book 2, surprises are in store for Zero whose dead lover, Daken, speaks to him, guiding him as the supposedly doomed planet they are on actually plays host to a multitude of hybrid communities, including a blood slave tribe serving a vampire queen.

The two vampires find lethal enemies at every turn. Who can they trust as danger lurks with each and every step? With the past coming back with a vengeance for Stride, an old enemy proves to be a formidable foe. Zero too, must face certain truths...or face a fate worse than being Stride's blood slave.
