The undead of Rome are racing to unravel an ancient
mystery – and only one woman can stop them...
As Rome prepares for its Carnivale, the new leader of the
city's vampire hunters – Lady Victoria Gardella Grantworth
de Lacy – must prove herself as never before. For, to gain
access to the secrets of a legendary alchemist, Rome's
vampires have allied themselves with creatures as evil and
bloodthirsty as they are.
Reluctantly, Victoria must turn to the enigmatic Sebastian
Vioget for help, just as Maximilian Pesaro arrives to
assist his fellow slayers – no matter what the sacrifice.
Desire puts her at the mercy of Sebastian, while loyalty
binds her to Max, but can she trust either man? Especially
when a seductive vampire begins luring her into the
shadows...
