Eura Falton is found guilty of the worst crime a vampire can commit: drinking the blood of another sentient being. Labeled a rogue, she is tortured and reviled, until she can face the one person who knows it wasn't her fault. Nosferatu has other plans for her, though. Exiled from her home and the life she's known, she must complete a mission for Nosferatu, leader of the Vampire Nation. Is her loyalty being tested, or is this an opportunity for Nosferatu to get rid of her? Captain Joe Baker is doing everything he can to bring his men home alive from a war he doesn't want to fight. Until a strange man shows up in his winter camp and throws everything into confusion. The man opens a scroll and casts a spell, pulling himself, the captain and some of his fellow soldiers through time. In a world he doesn't understand, his mission is the same: do whatever it takes to bring them safely home and back to their own time. Unfortunately for both of them, the Time Mystic Darkovin has his own ideas, as he manipulates the strings that send them hurtling into danger together. The Fallen King has stirred from his mountain fortress, and only Darkovin has any idea of just how dangerous the man that once ruled the continent can be.
