In Seasons Two and Three of the TV series Shades, police officer Kate Gonzales and her vampire friend, Jonathan van Dijk have been consolidating their relationship and occasionally working together, trying to keep their growing friendship under Rufus Henri's voudou radar. In this novella it is Season Four of the show, and everything is about to change for the characters. Kate is now on a temporary reassignment to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation and a case she is working has all the hallmarks of a vampire attack. She enlists Jonathan van Dijk's help and he discovers his worst fears are about to be realized; his vengeful sire has returned to Savannah. An old friend comes back into his life as well as an old enemy and the situation reaches its climax as the murders continue. Their story continues in the next full novel, House of Lilith, where the characters and the actors playing them find that the real world can mirror the fiction to an uncanny degree. Please note that this novella is included in the ebook version of House of Lilith and is in print as a separate entity due to word count and related paperpack publishing requirements.
