Kitty Norville is back and in more trouble than ever. Her recent run-in with werewolves traumatised by the horrors of war has made her start wondering how long the US government might have been covertly using werewolves in combat. Have any famous names in our own history actually been supernatural? Then an interview with the right vampire puts her on the trail of Wyatt Earp, vampire hunter. But her investigations lead her to a clue about enigmatic vampire Roman and the mysterious Long Game played by vampires through the millennia.

And Kitty Norville is never content to be a pawn ...

Our only light was the glow of the quartz crystal, which he had muted with a handkerchief. That was a good thing, I told myself. It meant no sunlight would creep in. But I could really have used some sunlight right about then. The crystal’s light was fading. “Anastasia?” “I’m all right,” she whispered, but she was slipping, her head lolling,
that says this should be impossible?” “Yeah,” I murmured. Cormac said, “Might be some kind of dimensional door or pocket. It got the mass for it from somewhere.” “Huh,” I said. “Anyone have a twenty? A fifty?” “No,” Grace said, scrambling forward to yank the bag away from me and hug it close to her. “No screwing around. This is serious.” Oddly enough, I felt better, because this had all been worthwhile. We couldn’t let Roman have this. We couldn’t let anyone have this. “Don’t tell me you’re
for a few minutes,” I said. “Ah.” With no other reaction than that. We couldn’t see how close the sun was to setting. Now that I was still and thinking about it, I could have really used a restroom. I could not wait to get back to the hotel room. A hot bath, some takeout, some alone time with Ben … It made a worthy goal to work toward. We’d get out of this. We would. Henry twitched. Just a spasm in his hand. We all jumped. Cormac swung his crossbow around. “Don’t shoot!” I hissed, holding
