“It all starts with a scream among the mirrors and ends with blood pouring through the streets of the Abyss.” Having lost the right to be called a huntress, Morrigan Blair decides to stay in the city of midnight witches and warlocks hidden underground. As an adherer of the High House of O'Flaherty, she promises to give Dominic the title of king of the city. Problems in the Abyss grow like a snowball. The words of the Knowing Mother turn out to be prophetic: someone is exterminating the lords who claim the throne. While Clio is trying to deal with the new power, a man in white haunts her in her dreams. Damien can’t bring his rage under control, and their relationship with Morrigan only becomes more complicated after the kiss. The higher the stakes, the stronger the threat, the more irresistible the temptation to turn again to the dark force living inside her. A power that is so difficult to give up.
