The second book in L. A. Banks's thrilling Vampire Huntress series featuring Damali Richards, a young African American woman who is all that stands between us and the eternal night.

There is a vampire war brewing in the underworld and at the centre of it all is Damali Richards, spoken word artist and Vampire Huntress. But she is not just any Vampire Huntress; she is the millennium Neteru, a woman so potentially powerful that the vampire world is about to invoke a bloody battle that threatens to spill over onto her streets in order to possess her.

It's just a matter of who will get to her first.

Fallon Nuit, a rogue vampire, is one of the most powerful Damali has ever encountered, and he has allied himself with the deadly Amanrath demons in order to claim her. But the Vampire Council has plans for her as well. Now an unlikely variable has entered into the equation: an ex-lover turned vampire with an agenda of his own. Damali must risk trusting him once more if they are to survive.
