Johnathan Newman is no longer human--and now, he's got the claws to prove it.

After a violent clash in Cress Haven, Vic and Johnathan flee, searching for answers. Johnathan's human life is over, but his supernatural journey is just beginning. Struggling with violent instincts and his growing bond to Vic--the vampire he's falling for--Johnathan faces a dangerous new world.

But the Society's sinister reach is far more dangerous than they realized, and a relentless enemy is closing in. Forced to seek refuge, Vic takes Johnathan to the Estate, a sanctuary hidden deep in the wilderness of upstate New York. Here, amidst strange allies and unexpected threats, Johnathan learns that even a safe haven can be deadly when you're one of his kind.

As their relationship intensifies, Johnathan's need to control his newfound powers becomes desperate--because the Society's Agents are closing in, and they bring with them a weapon straight from the Heavens. As their enemy's plans unfold, no one--human or supernatural--is safe.

Vampires. Dark desires. Relentless enemies. Can Johnathan master his powers in time to survive?
