An immortal war has been making in the darkness-and now one girl has stumbled into the shadows.

Chicago detective agency Kira Graceling should have just continued walking. But her feeling of responsibility refused to allow her disregard the moans of pain coming from inside a warehouse right before dawn. Instantly she discovers herself in a global she’s only imagined in her most severe nightmares.

At the center is Mencheres, a breathtaking Master vampire who thought he’d seen everything. After that Kira appears-this fearless, gorgeous human being who braved death to save him. Though he melts away on her behalf, keeping Kira in his globe means risking her existence. Yet sending her away is unthinkable.

With danger closing in, Mencheres must choose either the woman he craves or embracing the darkest magic to defeat an enemy bent on his eternal destruction.
