When Neferet refuses to fade quietly from the Other World, Zoey finds herself torn between two worlds—desperate to help her alternate self defeat a villain who won't stay vanquished, while trying to hold the line against dangerous old magic that demands a devastating price. Meanwhile, in Tulsa, peace hangs by a thread as the new High Priestess Anastasia works to unite humans and vampyres, but not everyone wants reconciliation when power tastes so sweet. As Zoey orchestrates an ambitious swim meet to bridge the divide between species, otherworldly forces are stirring in ways that could either save both worlds or shatter them completely. This penultimate chapter brings the stakes to a thrilling crescendo, exploring what happens when ambition, darkness, and the desperate need for connection collide in ways no one expected.
