A year ago, vampyre Thystle Moran was forced to kill a friend. She never knew why he turned against her, until now. As she enters a dark world of betrayal and murder born of hate, she's about to learn that some stones are better left unturned. Events of Thystle's past come back to haunt her and the distractions of a mysterious young woman threaten to hamper her search for a mage out to destroy her kind. This time, her sword alone may not be enough to save her. Content warning: the explicit violence, gore, and adult content in this book may not be suitable for all readers. This sword and sorcery, paranormal mashup from award-winning author A.M. Rycroft is a roller coaster ride that never lets up. Returning fans of the series will love the backstory of this surprisingly lovable vampre, and new fans will get one heck of an introduction.
