Synopsis

Dory and Dorina Basarab were once a single dhampir, a hated and feared cross between human and vampire. A fey weapon tore the two halves apart, and for the first time in five centuries they are separate people. One of them is being hunted. Dory and her husband, the vampire senator Louis-Cesare, enter the dangerous world of Faerie to find her other half, and they struggle to stay alive. Their search uncovers family secrets that could help them in their war against ancient gods, or could destroy two worlds.
