Cecile Bane is a ruthless Brujah, one of the best mercenaries of the twin cities and the favorite of Prince Samantha Mirrain. On one of the long nights, she finds a mysterious young vampire in her territory, a shy girl named Alejandra, who holds more secrets than it may seem at first glance.

Unexpectedly for herself, Cecile takes Ali under her wing, not even suspecting how this event will turn out for them. Harmony in the world of the undead comes to an end.

Cecile finds herself embroiled in a conspiracy that could lead to her ultimate death. A bloody hunt is declared, and Cecile must make a choice: flee and save her loved ones or stay and become a pawn of the forces that hide among allies in the darkness of night. Meanwhile, a group of outcast vampires, belonging to no clan, faces a brutal murder. Will their paths intersect with Cecile's?

Will they play their role in the dangerous conspiracy? And whose side will they take?
