Picks up twenty years after Dreams I'll Never See. Cris has been training to become a hunter. During her training, she learns that her teachers are no mere hunters, but are what are known as The Grigori-the immortals charged with keeping balance in nature and the universe. During one of the hunts, they accidentally declare war on one of the most powerful Houses within the Vampire Nation. McCall vanishes, and Cris heads out and away from the bayou to begin hunting on her own.
