Cassandra Palmer can see the future and has a spiritualistic gift, which attracts the dead and the undead to her. Ghosts of the dead are usually not dangerous; they're just talkative...too talkative. With the undead, things are different. Being a sensible girl, Cassie tries to avoid vampires. But when the revenge-seeking mobster bloodsucker she escaped three years ago finds Cassie, she has no choice but to turn to the Vampire Senate for protection. But the senators don't agree to help her just like that, and Cassie is forced to work for one of its most powerful members, a dangerously seductive vampire master. And as for the price he would demand from her, it might be more than Cassie is willing to pay.
