All Matra wants is to leave her fenced-in world behind and find the vampire she is forbidden to love. Out of hope and ideas, she has all but given up on a future away from the cult she calls a family, until fate delivers her the opportunity to run, and magic delivers her a new reason to fight: the inexplicable child she's carrying in secret. Matra knows against all logic her unborn daughter belongs to the Immortal she loves, and hasn't seen in five years, but if anyone in her "family" finds out, all of them--her love, her daughter, and Matra herself--will be in danger.

Christopher hasn't been the same since he was forced to abandon the woman he adores to the mercy of her deranged family. Their worlds diverged into Us and Them with the introduction of new laws that control his kind. But now that he's the assistant to the most powerful Immortal of all, when he finds Matra again, he won't let anything stop him from keeping her by his side.

Destiny and magic conspire once more to lead them to each other, but Matra and Christopher's happy reunion is heavy with risk. To keep their unexplainable child safe, they must embrace forbidden sides of themselves that could get them captured--if not killed. Because if anyone finds out the girl is impossibly Christopher's daughter--or the lengths he will go to keep her safe--it could spell disaster not just for Matra's new family, but for all humans and immortals alike.
