After inheriting the dark Van Allen Legacy, Schiller fled to Florence with her forbidden love, Jack. Now the two of them must embark on the mission Schuyler was destined to complete: to find and protect the five remaining gates that guard earth from Lucifer, lord of the Silver Bloods.
Back in New York, Mimi has been elected Regent of a crumbling coven. Devastated by the loss of Kingsley, she must focus all of her energy on a perilous new threat. Vampires are being abducted and their captors are planning to burn them alive online…for all the world to see. Help arrives in the form of Deming Chen, a Venator from Shanghai, who must untangle the web of deceptions before the killers strike again.
The young vampires struggle to preserve the coven, only to uncover a deadly secret kept buried for centuries. But nothing can prepare Schuyler for the terrible choice she will soon face-one that will ultimately map the destiny of her heart.
