Publisher's Synopsis
For eight hundred years, Valéry Castellane has known only one kind of light - the light in those human beings he's had to kill so he might live. The last of these has been the most brilliant light of all, the light of the one sent to tell him that heaven was never really lost to him. But did he destroy all hope for it in attempting to make this angel a human love he could hold forever on earth, or is the mystery of this vampire's salvation yet to be fully revealed? Sometimes the key which unlocks the secret of what's to come is hidden in the past.
Volume 2 picks up after an earth-shattering revelation that Valéry still doesn't truly understand, but which both guides and haunts him as his immortality continues to be touched and shaped by the human lives he cherishes in the very midst of the dark deeds he witnesses. From the 14th century through his own personal discovery of the New World and his experience of the two history-changing 18th century Revolutions, his inability to determine who really is the monster further leads him to becoming one whose greatest deception is the lie he tells himself - until the illusion is shattered to behold an enigmatic mortal girl.
