Vampire Metta Blautsauger is known as the family airhead and she works hard to keep up the façade. It's the perfect cover as she goes from dispensing her own brand of justice as a vigilante to an agent for Orcus, the Nosferatu shadow agency. Captured, tortured, and left for dead, she is forced to leave both the agency and Lucas O'Cuinn, the mentor she's grown to love. For the last century she's struggled with regret and boredom. Then her life is given new meaning when four mortal ministers ask her help in stopping a human trafficking ring. If Orcus discovers her unsanctioned involvement, they will brand her as a rogue. The penalty is death. It's only a matter of time before Lucas arrives—stake in hand. Lucas O'Cuinn has waited ninety-eight years for Metta's return and he's run out of patience. It's time she remembers she belongs to him.
