With the Huntsmen out of reach and even her father’s enforcers too scared to follow, it’s setting a new precedent as far as risky plans.

Elisabeth Wheatley
After barely escaping Arizona with their lives, Haddie, Damian, and Madelyn realize the time has come to fight the Vampire King, but they’ll need more friends—a lot more. The Faulkners call a meeting of Huntsmen to help recruit people who hate the Vampire King more than his wayward children. But Haddie and Damian’s mother shows up with her army-in-a-box, turning a negotiation into a hostage situation.
Now everyone is trapped in a hotel full of jumpy monster-killers and surrounded by hired guns. When people start to go missing, it’s only a matter of time before the slaughter starts. Worse, they soon learn the Vampire King is getting impatient. He wants the unrest quelled and Damian—his heir—back in New England to put an end to this embarrassment. Either way, Haddie and her brother, their mother, and the Huntsmen will have to band together if they want to survive what’s coming.
Resistance wasn’t enough. It’s time for rebellion.
