James Asher is found unconscious in a Paris cemetery with puncture wounds across his throat and arms. Lydia has no explanation for his secret journey to France and turns to Don Simon Ysidro, the one ally capable of protecting James from the vampires gathering around him.

As war approaches in 1914, Lydia reconstructs her husband’s investigation while he drifts between fever and memory. The attack is connected to military intelligence, rival vampire factions and experiments that could make the undead useful to governments preparing for conflict, leaving Lydia little time to identify who summoned James and why.
