The most powerful love in existence faces the most sinister threat imaginable.

I am Rhiannon, and this is my story.

Century upon century, the love between my Roland and I has deepened into something as rare and powerful as immortality itself. We are leaders among our kind. And recently, we’ve taken in three orphans, mutants known as the Offspring, created by DPI for one purpose; to hunt and kill vampires.

I never thought I would have the chance to be a mother, and I adore the three seven-year-olds. But DPI is desperate to get them back.

They captured Roland, nearly got us all, and naturally I turned over heaven and earth to get him back. And did. But he’s not the same. Something happened to him in DPI’s evil hands, and now it feels as if the threat to the children is coming from within my own home.

I might be forced to choose between the innocent children I adore, and the man who is my very heart and soul. What is a Queen of Darkness to do?
