When Selene Coldbane is taken captive by the Nemurire Council, one of the oldest vampire covens in the world, not even the love of the Head Master can save her. Selene must rely on herself to keep from being sucked into the dark madness of the Coven's Queen, Arurah, while overcoming demons that threaten not only her life--but her heart.But Queen Arurah will stop at nothing to bring Selene into the fold. As the nightmare erupts, Selene must figure out a way to escape, or prepare for an eternity under the clutches of the Queen. And when she meets Demien, in whose arms Selene feels freedom and home for the first time, she needs to decide if her fate lies with Xavier, the right hand of the Queen, or Demien, the Nephilim who wants nothing more than to protect her.
