Madness lurks in their poison, creeping down bloodlines like a disease. Vampires stalk our modern nights - some ancient, some new. Kassidy is caught between the two: the first ever 'half and half', with two clashing generations of the curse in her veins. When war and her crazed half-sire push her 'civilised' clan to their limits, who can blame them for giving in, and letting the beast within take over? If you thought that life was complicated, just wait until you see death.
