Elaina Jacoby has been afforded a rare privilege.
She will become Virehnai. You might call her a 'vampire.'
She may never taste death and will watch over generations of her family, adding to their power. Not everyone is happy. Her brothers believe they deserve it more. Others in the shadows see her as nothing more than a target - a means of revenge against her soon-to-be sire, Michel Robichaux. The Compact has stood for centuries, binding the Virehnai from killing one another or indulging in treachery. Now, someone from the past, waiting patiently for the right technology and opportunity, is ready to unleash revenge as cold as Virehnai skin. In the shadows of eternity, you discover even family can draw blood.
