After Gwyn Parsons kills Bjorn Ericsson, she takes control of the Chicago coven that Roman Sauveterre calls home.
Roman has gone from her target to collateral damage in a betrayal she knows he will never forgive and does not believe she deserves to be forgiven for.
Vengeance has not made her feel any better, yet she plans to weaken the vampire population even if she will not be there to see it through.
Gwyn has made a fool of Roman and taken nearly everything, but she has also returned his brother, the person who matters most to him, and is holding that brother as collateral.
Roman begins plans of his own to free his coven and his brother from her grasp, even as killing the woman who stole his heart remains a real and unanswered danger.
