My daughter is the jewel of my world, but I am conflicted over the thought that she could grow up to become a dangerous killer like Anastasia Bathory. Added to this, I have discovered that the man I love, Knight, isn't as dead as I was told. The conflicting emotions I feel over him must be put to one side, however, as I enter negotiations with the Lycans to forge an alliance against the turned vampires who threaten us. Desperate to thwart the looming war, I need answers for my daughter, and to get them, I must turn to James, the vampire who had previously bitten and tortured me.

For 400 years, I have maintained the rules laid down centuries ago by Born vampires. We stay hidden in the shadows away from humans, and kill our enemies, the Lycans, when they trespass into our territory. A test of my morality comes when a Lycan child crosses our border one day, and instead of killing it, I set it free. I am rewarded by the Lycans, but I have flouted the law I’ve so carefully followed for centuries. I almost believed no one would discover my indiscretion when Arthur, a sinister Hunter tasked with finding vampires who have broken the laws, arrives at our castle. Then my best friend, Olivier, is recruited by Arthur, and I am all but certain I have been discovered. I only have one option left.

But with the previous owner, the ghostly Doctor Albert Downey, still in residence and connected to their own mysterious haunting, what choice do they have?

House flippers Jack and Juniper are planning to ring in the New Year slinging tapas, vino, and beer in an old Victorian mansion that they've transformed into Bohemian Lake's first inn and taproom, but the mansion's poltergeist is out to dash their merriment with mean-spirited sabotage. Having laid otherworldly rumors to rest before, Juniper is skeptical, but the alarms aren't going off. When the mischief turns deadly, Juniper calls in a part-time paranormal investigator but the man's discoveries leave her thinking that her problem is more personal than paranormal.
