It feels like a lifetime ago since Arri's life was turned upside down, and there's no going back to the peaceful existence she once knew. Because Arri is more than human - someone wants her dead. Arri has survived Nicholas's relentless attacks... so far. Consumed by the words of the "Old One's" prophecy, the ancient vampire overlord is obsessed with making an example of her at any cost. But as Nicholas and his agents close in on her, her abilities grow - and new ones emerge - while she learns to embrace her hidden side. Is recognizing what she is and mastering her new self going to be enough? Her heart's on the line as much as her life. Loving Michael is second nature - that much she's sure of. But Arri can't help but wonder who she really is... and how she fits in to Michaels supernatural world. Those closest to her will betray her as they fight for positions in the evolving vampire world, but will Arri stand strong, as a symbol of defiance - that is, if she can stay alive...
