To the world, the Gremory are an extinct plague. To Caelen and Rory, they are a nightmare they are desperately trying to escape. After turning their backs on their own vampire family, the two siblings survive as fugitives in the shadows of Vaelyria. While Rory struggles with the guilt of what she has become and Caelen carries the burden of protecting her, danger closes in from two fronts: the inquisitors seeking to exterminate their bloodline, and their own kin, determined to punish them for their betrayal. In a world that hates them, their only refuge is the loyalty they swore to each other.
