Sometimes the most frightening secrets are those we keep from ourselves. With her eyes now open to the world of immortals, Ali Hayes realizes that there is more to the ancient power struggle between Vampires and Watchers than she ever thought possible. When a surprise informant reveals the French Coven is closing in on her and those she loves, she also learns things about herself that she cannot fully explain. Will the secrets she uncovers change the balance of power-or simply awaken things that should have been left undisturbed?

As America tries to forget the horrors of the Great War by embracing jazz, flappers, and the speakeasy, the Watchers remain vigilant by protecting the innocent and maintaining order among the Immortals-including a powerful line of Seers who are all but extinct.
