With a single white-hot glance, he immolates his descendants...and the vampire Armageddon begins. Beautiful and deadly Brigit Poe, not wholly vampire but loyal to the bloodline, is called into action. Her destiny: to vanquish the once-great king of the immortals and save the vampire race. Soon locked in an unwinnable battle, the two warriors discover a passion so shocking it threatens every truth they've ever known - and seems fated to end in death and heartbreak.
