Synopsis

The draug have been destroyed, and Morganville's vampires have gained new freedom. Frightened humans in town begin arming themselves against the vampires they live beside. Claire Danvers has friends on both sides of the divide, and she tries to stay neutral. At the same time, a television crew arrives in town to hunt for ghosts, bringing outsiders and cameras into a place that has always hidden its secrets. As the crew starts asking questions, the strain between the two communities grows, and Claire has to decide how far she can go to keep the peace and to protect the town's secret.
