Long live the King...After years of abdication, Wrath, Wrath's son, has finally accepted his father's legacy...thanks to his beloved shellan. But the weight of the crown presses down on him relentlessly - with the war with the Lessening Society raging, and the looming threat to his home from the Gang of Bastards becoming truly tangible, Wrath must make a choice that will put everything - and everyone - in mortal danger. Beth Randall thought that I knew what I was getting into when I linked my life with the last purebred vampire on the planet, and it was far from an easy road. But when Beth decides to become a mother, she wasn't prepared for Wrath's reaction... and the estrangement created between them. The question is, what will win: true love... or a cursed legacy?
