POWER, it comes down to this . . . those who have it, those who want it.
REVENGE, the need for it is a fire in the soul, a goad for the unwise.
HUNTED, the fate of the foolish when they think to become the hunter.

Power . . . Revenge . . . Hunted. The Lord of the Midwest is dead, and the powerful vampires of North America are gathering to choose his successor.

The Vampire Council will be there to oversee the competition--each of them focused on keeping the violence to a bloody minimum, including Raphael, who will do whatever it takes to ensure the victor is a vampire he can trust.

But someone is hunting, determined to stop Raphael and his mate, Cyn, from ever reaching Chicago.

Soon, the hunter may become . . . the hunted.
