The story didn’t end with Kiss of the Fallen.

Rebellious Black Blood Slayer Zoë and her long-fanged, perpetually morose vampire Tristan are returning. And this time, saving New Orleans may be the least of their problems.

With the fall of the Three, a power vacuum has opened beneath the veil of the city. Vampires, Weres, and Witches wage war from the shadows, each fighting for dominion. Alliances are shifting. Trust is scarce. And everyone wants their turn at the wheel.

Once celebrated, Zoë and Tristan are now feared, ostracized, and left with no one to rely on but each other. Which would be complicated enough if Zoë's thirst for Tristan weren't growing more dangerous by the day.

She would do anything to protect him.

The problem?

She just may be the greatest threat to him.

And when the Mistress of the Fallen can enthrall, destroy, and bring powerful creatures to their knees...and her only desire is to break the wheel—New Orleans isn't the only thing in danger of burning.

This time, the fate of the human world is caught in the flames.

Zoë and Tristan are coming back.
And they are no one's heroes anymore.
