According to ancient prophecy, there’s only one chance to avert the complete annihilation of the Undead. Twins James William and Brigit Poe — part human, part vampire — believe that they are that chance. In truth, the key lies with reclusive — and mortal — scholar, Lucy Lanfair. As Armageddon approaches, anti-vampire sentiment fuels a war neither side can win, driving James to abandon his moral code and draw Lucy into a deadly battle she wants no part of. But Lucy soon realises that she holds this powerful immortal’s soul in her hands, and that it’s her destiny not only to stop a war, but to save James from his inner darkness. If she fails, his race will die — and so will her heart. Is the power of their love strong enough to save the world?
