Teenage vampire Tessa hasn't had a chance to take a deep breath with her boyfriend Cody after the war the two of them and their human friend Jared prevented when her life again plummets into chaos. Her father is missing, Goran is in a coma, her mother seems about to go off the deep end, and David has also disappeared, seemingly of his own volition. With her world plunged into fresh madness, Tessa finds herself leading the charge once again. On the run, Jared has no choice but to seek out the peaceful vampires he relied on in the past despite that he's not sure if he's welcome amongst them anymore. But Tessa is the only one who can find the answers he seeks, the only one who can figure out what's going on, preferably before their enemy strikes again.
