Her blood can save us. Her hunger may doom us.
FBI Special Agent Nicole Lange has spent years hunting Harlon Cord, an elusive international arms dealer with a trail of bodies behind him. But when her investigation uncovers murders no human could have committed, Nikki discovers that Cord has forged an unholy alliance between men and vampires.
And they are searching for the Unholy Grail of Judas Iscariot.
The ancient relic can bend vampires to its will and corrupt the humans who wield it. In Cord’s hands, it could bring the hidden world of the undead into the apocalyptic conquest of humankind.
Stopping him and destroying the Grail forces Nikki to cross an impossible line. She must commit her own unholy union between her very soul and the spirit of a vampire.
With each use of her powers, Nikki grows stronger—but hungrier. The difference between the vampires she hunts and the person she is becoming begins to blur. And the objective of stopping Cord or replacing him begins to shift.
What if the dhampir Nikki doesn’t want to destroy the Grail?
