Book 7 in the Tsuriai Series Lucifer had placed Zakesalek and their shadows on the Council of Lords to look over Tsuriai, but it took a simple request from the Circle of Nihil to test the shaky alliance. As new friendships are forged, old ones are tested; and ancient grudges start to open the doors to an uncertain future. When the Watcher Vikarr made his call on the Council, he was unaware that Nihil would be a stepping stone for the things to come and that responding to such a simple complaint from one of Nihil's vampires would forever change his life. This story does not belong to Nihil alone. Nihil is only the beginning.
