Publisher's Synopsis
After defeating the Children of Espen, Kara Peal and her Clan are enjoying a brief period of peace. However, a dark prophecy from an ancient vampire named Jacqueline Blue, and the arrival of a human political official bent on destroying the good name of the Clan, usher in a new collection of enemies far more powerful than any vampire or Creature of the Underbelly, as they are a sadistic hybrid of both! Now Kara must lead her Clan into a battle seemingly impossible to win, and soon she herself must go alone against the most infamous monster in the history of her species... as well as endure what might be an unpreventable fate for Sydon City itself.
