Rogue vampire Marcus Giovanni wants to see the world burn. When he kidnaps little Ellie, he knows she is the perfect sacrifice for a primeval Old One. To him, it doesn't matter if the child's great-grandfather was a god of war or her aunt a goddess of death. The one person he didn't anticipate was Tiffany Stephens. Because there's nothing more dangerous in the universe than a vampire slayer in search of her daughter.
