Ever since a tragic attack on Hidden Hill, Willow Hunter dreams of killing her first vampire and rising to the thrilling rank of Initiate among the vampire hunters. But there is one problem: there hasn't been a single vampire sighting along their human-vampire border in seven years.
But when Willow's dream finally comes true, she discovers she's in for more than she bargained for. The beings she once thought easy to kill nearly take her life. Willow is forced to face the terrifying reality of what she protects Hidden Hill from.
Whether Willow is prepared to face another vampire attack or not, a larger threat slinks in. This threat is a mysterious vampire called the Rogue. He promises to carve out a bloody and turbulent revolution. But in order for Willow to track him down and stop his plans, she will have to cross the human-vampire border once more and become allies with the very beings she despises.
