It isn't easy being a seven hundred year old Roman Catholic vampire, to say the least, but whether or not Angela Estrada could enter a church became the least of her worries the day she reluctantly became the leader of her clan. Connor is having a really weird day. First, he was chased by a pack of wolves until he collapsed, sure he was about to be eaten alive. Now, the most terrifyingly beautiful creature he has ever seen is demanding answers he cannot give. Vampire law dictates that Angela kill the human just for discovering the immortal city of Discord, but lurking behind his eyes is a voice from Angela's past that has haunted her for nearly 600 years. She lets Connor live, against the wishes of everyone including her best friend, Damon, and the vampire leader, Hadrian. Determined to find the truth, whatever the cost, Angela must face not only her most painful memories, but also the possibility that Connor is possessed. Either that, or she is finally losing her mind.
