Abandoned in Origin for almost a decade, Veronica falls back into Kent, Ohio as vampires began dropping dead. No one knows if it's a curse or a plague, but it is causing vampires to age and die in a matter of days, in some cases hours. What the Cabal Ministry does know is the first death didn't happen until after Lucian returned to the area. Is he back for revenge?
Against Raphe's protest, Primus Grump and his lieutenant, Meisha, are willing to make a deal with Veronica. If she pledges to help them she'll be forgiven for past crimes of treason. Can she turn her back on the man she loves for the greater good? Or does she have a bigger plan in motion to save everyone? Love is a tricky disease that no one can cure.
