When her sire is slaughtered and his legacy reduced to whispers, Alexis inherits the throne of Minneapolis’ vampire underworld—and the enemies that come with it. Cassius, an ancient rival, moves to seize control. The Brotherhood demands the return of Veronica, a dying researcher caught in their web of dark experiments. And her own vampires question if she’s strong enough to lead.

To survive, Alexis must do the unthinkable: forge a fragile alliance with a man altered by the very magic they both despise. But as old oaths crumble and war looms, Alexis learns the price of leadership isn’t just blood—it’s who you’re willing to sacrifice to keep it.

Because in this city, the dead remember everything.
And they don’t forgive.
