He has turned her into the humblest of slaves, eager to satisfy his every command and serve his bloodthirsty appetite-as well as a few unusual appetites of her own.

When Katelyn Dillon's attempt to save her friends fails, she's instead swept up into the world of the vampires who killed them-not as a vampire herself but as their familiar.

Jude uses her shamelessly by compelling her to find him and his coven more victims, capitalizing on her ability to intuit who people really are.

And in the meantime, her unwanted appetite twists into something dark and strange-craving life in all its mean forms, from Jude's human victims to the rats in the walls and the spiders skittering across the floor.

She's powerless, enslaved, cursed and completely at the mercy of a man who thinks he spoils her rotten, even while trapping her between worlds and molding her in his own image. His refusal to change her into a vampire leaves Katelyn conflicted on multiple fronts-desperate to feed on more of his blood, desperate for him to feed on her, desperate for him to set her free and desperate for him to never let her go.
