Personia of Broceliande was the commander of a profitable army…and mortal. Hadin was one her officers, sharing Personia’s battles, her bed, and the hope of retiring from a life of bloodshed. That was before the vampire council enlisted their services to destroy Countess Lucia of Cedenia. Centuries later, Personia isolated herself in the dark world of her own unsolicited conversion, where memories of her failures, her life with Hadin, and the woman’s murder dominated her existence. Now the countess has returned, obsessed with a five-hundred-year-old vendetta, and targeting Tracey Evans, a woman Personia is convinced is the reincarnation of her lost love. Personia knows she must confront the countess again to complete the task she failed to accomplish centuries ago. Knowing her success will ensure Tracey’s safety, she also hopes it will grant herself absolution, or an unlikely redemption.
