These violent delights have violent ends, And in their triumph die, like fire and powder, Which, as they kiss, CONSUME. – William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet

Tristan Coleman has survived the change from Clann magic user to vampire, much to Savannah Colbert's joy – and despair. By changing the Clann's golden boy and newly elected leader, even to save him from death, she has unleashed a fury of hatred and fear that they cannot escape.

As the Clann and the vampire council go to war, Tristan and Sav face a new threat – a fracturing of the all–consuming bond they share. To fight for peace, they must forge a new trust and risk everything to take down their deadliest enemy, as they run for their lives.

Soon they will learn that some bonds are stronger than love – and some battles cannot be won without sacrifice.
