They promised to keep me alive. They promised to keep me safe. But what happens when death is payment for a debt I never knew?Death or an eternity in servitude? The Costello's are steeped in betrayal. Lies and corruption taint my family's bloodline, owing debts to monsters more dangerous than the Vampires I love.Now the Inner Circle has come to collect.Only I won't go easy. To protect those I love I'll fight for them a thousand times over...if need be I'll die as well. In a dark alley I face down my corrupt past. I have one small chance to keep us alive. As my thoughts turn to those I love; Elithen, Hurrow, Justice, Rule and my savage Unseelie bodyguard, Russell, I pray we make it...hearts and lives intact.
