Vlad's running out of time. The Elysian Council has given him weeks to live, and that's if the Slayer Society doesn't kill him first. Then there's the issue of Vlad's father, who may or may not still be alive after all these years, and oh yeah, that tiny little detail in the Pravus prophecy about Vlad enslaving Vampirekind and the human race. So much for college applications . . .
Dark secrets will be revealed, old friends will become enemies, and warm blood will run cold in this thrilling final instalment in the tales of Vladimir Tod.
