Dante Gabriel is rolling out some abilities nothing you’ve seen prior observed in a vampire his age. Without Erin Hamilton, he’d be over the brink of insanity, but she’s constantly there, always willing to provide him what he needs, and he’s established to keep her safe in the vampire thugs who would like her. His queries are still unanswered, and he considers turning to an evil resource for results.

Erin trusts Dante completely but still seeks outside help to keep the rogue vampires apart. Another fantasy leaves her more frantic to solve the mystery of the disappearing women and help Dante find what he’s looking for. Though her love for him doesn’t waver, she finds the subtle changes in him unsettling.
