The small Midwestern town of Orison Crossing is home to a spiritual nexus and vampire Eric Ravenscroft. The Sacred vessel and Anointed Strength have entered the Realm of Man, exposing a legacy of lies, suicide, and murder that must be reckoned with the truth, for . . .
As salvation sinks into darkness and blood, Sin preys upon the Sinner.
Tethered to Lucien at the top of the world, Jonathan divulges the horrors of his past and questions his chance for redemption. But outside the Arctic, Death stalks those closest to Eric and edges the Vampiric Nation closer to civil war.
Paresh's blood is out, and so are the emotions that come with it, further cracking an already splintered High Council and unleashing a murderous rogue upon Sunset Grove.
The bloody crusts on the victim's throat turn narrowed eyes and poisoned tongues on Eric, and, as the Vampire Shadow Hounds descend on the hunt, another body drops. Blood runs thick and trust wears thin, tempting Jonathan to forfeit his soul to join the fight.
But when a traitor targets Paresh both within the Arc of True Blood and in the Realm of Man, Jonathan realizes that no place is safe. He can only protect her if he finds a penitent heart. But have his doubts cost him precious time? Is he already too late?
