A reluctant predator, Eleisha Clevon has made a home for herself and other vampires in Portland, Oregon. Despite the risks, she is determined to locate all vampires who still reside in isolation so she can offer them sanctuary and, more importantly, so she can teach them to feed without killing. She is shocked when she learns that a lost vampire may be living as close as Denver - and she has to handle this one more carefully than any she has ever approached.
