Her next patient is Csangal, a vampire who is haunted by the memories of what he has done. With her relationship with Aleksei in a difficult stage, Gillian throws herself heart and soul into helping Csangal deal with his past. What she doesn't know is that Csangal is really a pseudonym used by Dracula and his intent isn't healing but revenge on those who made him what he is.

Gillian finds herself abducted by Dracula to be a sacrifice to the beings who made him and all the other Vampire Lords. However, his plans take an unexpected turn when the other Vampire Lords pull together to avert his plans.

Instead, they will face another Vampire Lord who wants to use religion to bring the world into his power. They will find the world is more danger than they could have dreamed and it will take all of them to save it.

This is the fourth in the series of Gillian Key and once again I found myself wishing for fewer creatures and a less complicated plot. Ms. Gryphon has thrown every mythical being into her books and each novel gets more complicated. It's enough to make the reader dizzy trying to keep them all straight. While I enjoy the writing style, the sheer number of creatures and the loosely connected subplots are enough to send this reader screaming for a nice uncomplicated romance to alleviate the feelings of confusion which arise whenever I enter this world.
