Salomé cherishes her passion for the night; her unyielding passion protects her sanity, while a boot knife protects her against any other threats. But unbeknownst to Salomé, she has had other protectors watching her throughout her life. Good thing too. The night's shadows spy on her. After high school graduation, Salomé moves to Santa Fe, New Mexico, where she makes new friendships and works a challenging career. Then one starry night, Fate intercedes. Salomé receives an invitation to embrace her inner desires. Should she trust this shadowy stranger before her? And change her life forever-or-run? The choice leads to Salomé dealing with vampires, gods, immortals, secret organizations, and magick. How can anyone manage nightkind when all they know of them originates from books and movies? Salomé can only complete this adventure with the help of her family and friends. If she cannot, the world might simply end in a loud bang.
