As a bloodline vampire, Lizzie has never had a problem taking what she wants, and right now what she wants are the family heirlooms that were stolen from her, a ship, and a portal home. Maeve didn't choose to give up her skin - it was stolen from her. Now she's in an uneasy partnership with a dangerous woman who seems more apt to kill than to share a kind word. The ship Lizzie took over belongs to the Cwn Annwn, and they don't take kindly to people who don't play by their rules. They're coming hunting, and not even Lizzie's viciousness or Maeve's knowledge will be enough to save them.
