As a vampyr who was born to fulfill a prophecy, my life was planned before I was created. I obeyed every rule, and I became the perfect vampyr, but one night changed everything. Rejected by the man who was destined for me, who was supposed to love me forever, I do the only thing I can. I flee into the night, nursing my broken heart. Being a rejected mate corrupts the soul, however, and in this game of Courts and Kings, nobody wins. Nobody except the monsters in the shadows.

In order to stop the destruction of the world as we know it, I must put my trust in not only myself, but also my unlikely companions.

War is waging between the Black Bloods and the Paragon Dawn. The time has come for the other kingdoms to pick a side. Except there's one thing that will get in the way of pledging their unwavering allegiance: Every king wants Princess Devereux's heart on a platter—or worse, a ring on her finger.

Dabbling in black-market trade has its benefits. Getting rid of the curse, however, seems to be a fallacy.

Die Mordliga war vollzählig. Aber auch sie hatte Feinde. Ich wusste, dass sich Asmodina, die Tochter des Teufels, gegen Morasso gestellt hatte. Zwei Lager des Verderbens und irgendwo dazwischen standen wir. Ich konnte nur hoffen, dass durch die bevorstehende Schlacht die eine oder andere Seite geschwächt, vielleicht sogar vernichtet werden würde und dass wir nicht zwischen die Fronten gerieten.

Der Kelch des Feuers barg ein magisches Geheimnis. Das wussten wir alle, doch zu welcher Todesgefahr es für John Sinclair werden sollte, ahnten wir nicht.Aber Asmodina kannte das Geheimnis. Damit war ihr Sinclair wehrlos ausgeliefert.
