Tessa's world exploded. She survived Deanna's inheritance.

She sees more, hears more ... understands more. But more is not always better. Cody doesn't like what's happening around him. Tessa has walked through hell and she has a lot more to go before she's clear. He plans on standing by her side - her guardian - whether she wants him to be there for her or not.

Jared can't believe all trails lead him into trouble. He'd escaped once. Tried to stay out of the mess since. But a friend is missing, and when he tries to get help, the person he confides in goes missing too.

The vampire world was never ready for Tessa before. The new Tessa? No one is ready for her.
