There she meets Aden. A dark attraction pulls them together, and they ally against the old regime. This is paranormal romance with a sensual, shadowed tone, set inside a power struggle between vampires.

Their odds are poor, and the dangers cannot be measured. Whether both of them live to see the old order fall is the question that drives the book.
