Her blood can save us. Her hunger may doom us.
An ancient power reawakens. The undead gather for war. And humanities only hope struggles to hold on to her humanity.
FBI Special Agent Nicole Lange is closing in on an elusive international arms dealer. Harlon Cord is the exact kind of criminal monster Nikki has spent her career fighting. But Cord now possesses something far worse than illegal weapons: an ancient, debased magic that Nikki’s ancestors fought generations ago.
The Unholy Grail of Judas Iscariot has reappeared. And with it a hidden world of true monsters and dark necromantic magic.
The Grail bends every vampire to its will and corrupts every human to its hunger. If Cord uses it, he will rise as emperor of the undead, and their armies will march across the Earth, ushering in the apocalypse and the end to humankind.
To stop this, Nikki must awaken her unrecognized dhampir heritage—awaken as half-human and half-vampire the only being capable of destroying the Grail. Now she walks a knife's edge between two worlds, and each time her power grows, so does her terrifying hunger. And the temptation to take the Grail's power for herself.
The fate of the living will depend on a balance of the sacred, the dead, and the cursed.
