A prophecy has emerged and Casey is at the center. For three years no one has acted upon it, but suddenly everyone seems to be interested in her and the child she will one day carry. It's all anyone seems to care about: Who will father the Child of Three Halves.
Jude, absent until Casey's senior year in college, has returned. He thinks he should be the one, thus adding prestige to his house. But his actions will go against the rules of humans, witches, and vampires.
Meanwhile, a new drug has surfaced that is killing vampires. Are the witches willing to expose themselves to save beings they've avoided for hundreds of years?
