Some say love is a great motivator, but hatred gets the job done, too.

My name is Anita Blake. I''m a vampire hunter and necromancer, and I''m about to learn that evil is in the eye of the beholder...

I''ve never seen Damian, my vampire servant, so vulnerable. He''s being bombarded with violent nightmares and blood sweats, but now is the time I need him most. The ruthless vampire who created him might be losing control, allowing rogue vampires to run wild and break one of their kind''s few strict taboos.

I''m joining forces with my friend Edward to stop the carnage, and Damian will be at our side, even if it means travelling to a place that couldn''t be less welcoming to a vampire, an assassin and a necromancer.
