Sylvie
Lara came back to me—but she’s not the sister I remember.
Whatever the Solstice Society did to her, it’s twisted her into something dangerous—something
hollow. I know she’s still in there, buried beneath the coldness in her eyes and the venom in her
words. And I’ll stop at nothing to bring her back…Even if it kills me.
In order to restore Lara’s humanity, I’ll have to embrace the powers I’ve only begun to
understand. Magic that terrifies me. Magic that could consume me. With help from a powerful
witch named Ravenna and the Guild’s most ancient elders, I’ll attempt an incantation few have
survived. But I can’t do it alone…
The vampires are fracturing. The Society is escalating their war. And the only way we stand a
chance is if we unite the very beings they’re trying to destroy.
Even if it means trusting creatures I’ve only just started believing in.

Lucian
Lara’s return should’ve brought peace. Instead, it’s torn Sylvie in two.
The woman I love is burning herself alive trying to save what remains of her twin, and every
moment she spends with Lara puts her in more danger. The Solstice Society’s newest game is
a cruel one—starve the vampires, steal their control, and set the factions against each other
until we destroy ourselves.
And they’re succeeding.
My hunger claws at me. I can feel the edges of the monster I’ve spent decades suppressing.
Being near Sylvie is a risk I can barely manage… but being away from her? That might be the
greater threat.
Because if we fail to save Lara—if we fail to stop what’s coming—we won’t just lose each other.
We’ll lose everything.
