'It's open war between the Families of Power and the Tabérin. Two ancient races, witch and vampire, are locked in a deadly battle, and Kat Chanter, descendant of both warring bloodlines, is the only hope for peace …

'Kat's barely settled in Napa before she wakes to broken promises. Her grandmother Imara has left at dawn for her San Francisco headquarters, where the real decisions on coven politics are being made, and Kat wasn't invited.

'Then Kat discovers the entire Napa compound is riddled with silver – making it a Tabérin no-go zone, and her grandmother the worst kind of liar.

'Clearly Imara still believes the only good Tabérin is a dead one. That leaves Kat's Tabérin family – and Ben with them – in deadly danger from the coven's witch militia. And Kat's utterly powerless to warn them ...' (Publication summary)

'Kat and her grandmother had a deal. A deal that Imara has definitively broken. Frustrated by Imara's security team watching every move she makes, Kat escapes the compound, and finds Alek waiting for her outside.

'But their reunion goes anything but smoothly. Though passion flares between them, anger follows as swiftly and burns as brightly. As Kat's powers of witchcraft grow, she knows it's vital she keeps her emotions restrained, but if there's one thing Alek excels at, it's making her lose control.

'Meanwhile, Ben and his newfound Tabérin family find sanctuary with a coven sympathetic to their plight, under the protection of Samuel, the European coven leader. Samuel's hidden valley settlement seems the perfect place to recuperate and lay low. But not everyone here is a friend ...' (Publication summary)

'When Kat's offered the opportunity to escape her grandmother, continue her training in Europe under Samuel's supervision, and be reunited with her Tabérin family, she jumps at the chance. But in Samuel's company she learns more about the secrets and intrigues of coven politics than Imara has ever shared. It seems that Imara's war with the Tabérin Directorate isn't the only thing threatening the Families of Power, and that Kat's own position as heir to the coven leadership is far from assured.

'Char has her own problems at her new nightclub in York. She's always had a sixth sense for danger, but even she could never have predicted the catastrophic fallout from agreeing to John Falcon's request to hide Yara Fortes. The traumatized teen's connections go all the way to the very top of the Tabérin Directorate. It seems the new Vodas will stop at nothing, and spare no one, to get Yara back.' (Publication summary)

'Trouble darkens Kat's arrival in Europe; the murder of a young man from Samuel's settlement, in their most sacred Gathering Place. The runes that adorn his naked body speak of attempts to raise a fearsome and ancient power, one that countless witches have worked for centuries to keep safely buried.

'As Kat comes to terms with this new threat, Alek tells her he's leaving, but won't share any of the details of why, or for how long. All she knows is that he's heading into danger ... and that he's hiding something from her. He wants her trust, yet remains reluctant to give her his.' (Publication summary)

'An imprudent daytrip to the Italian city of Trieste goes badly wrong when Kat and her witch companions linger past dusk. They're discovered by Directorate agents, and barely escape with their lives.

'Kat's grandmother is not so lucky. Kat receives word her Napa compound has been attacked by the Vodas's forces, and Imara is only just clinging to life.

There's mounting evidence that the Vodas has revived a barbaric feudal practice, and is building an elite force of bloodsworn soldiers, loyal till death, fuelled by a seemingly endless supply of the Directorate's prized "old blood". He seems unbeatable ... unless, of course, they can find a way to cut off his blood supply at its source.' (Publication summary)
