Nothing will make Andreas Reichen abandon his decision to destroy the vampire responsible for the extermination of his relatives. In this cruel mission, he is ready to use as a hostage even the only woman whom he previously loved and whom he should under no circumstances desire again. Claire, connected by blood to his treacherous adversary, is capable of leading the obsessed avenger to his goal, but this is a path of mortal risk - and burning temptations that easily blur the line between predator and prey.
