If there is one town that Scarlett Bernard hates, it’s Las Vegas. But when the cardinal vampire of Los Angeles convinces her to go investigate a fresh vampire-themed stage display, Scarlett quickly finds herself shoulder-deep in sequins, slot machines, and Old Globe intrigue. The show’s creators are vampire superstars Arthur and Lucy Holmwood, who once influenced characters from the initial Dracula.

Now, nevertheless, they haven’t any qualms about announcing their true status to the human globe, endangering the secrecy of the Old World and Scarlett’s mission to keep it hidden. But before she can begin untangling the Holmwoods’ motives, Scarlett also discovers that their new production has fascinated more than simply fans: Las Vegas’s many vampires are abruptly disappearing, and rumors are flying that actual vampire hunters may have adopted Arthur and Lucy to town.

Now, without her allies, her bargest, or her frequent partner Jesse Cruz, Scarlett must navigate a new underworld of secrets and murders in a city where there is nothing ever as it seems. As well as the stakes haven’t been higher.
