Like any great artist, Helen Wells craved immortality. Now, through the unholy kiss of Stephen Austra, her vampire lover, she can taste eternity. But her passion demands a cruel price -- her utter surrender to the darkest animal urges ... the aching need to hunt ... to kill ... to drink ... At first, Helen resists the savage nature of this strange new life. Until a hired killer begins to stalk her family.

Some men deserve to die. And some hungers demand to be fed.
