One will suffer, one will fight... all will burn.

With the Dark Witches defeated, a new world dawns where humans no longer need the vampire clans for protection.

Torn apart by those they once called allies, the lovers must find a way back to each other in a treacherous new world where nothing is as it seems.

Once again faced with impossible choices, Sophie is forced to fight for her future and the one she loves... all while battling the rising darkness within. She will stop at nothing to get Henry back, and the darkness can put him within her reach, but if she succumbs to it, can she still keep the light of humanity burning inside her?
