Carrie has managed to adjust to being a vampire and to the fact that she has been sired twice over. She's even made peace with killing her first sire and fallen in love with her present one. Then, things go crazy. Nathan, her sire and lover, becomes possessed by the Soul Eater and goes insane, resulting in the Voluntary Vampire Extinction Movement rescinding the grace he was given and invoking the death penalty.

That is not the worst thing going on, though. With the Soul Eater trying to come back, someone has to stop him, no matter what the price. To do so, Carrie will have to turn to the ancient vampire's son, Cyrus, her first sire, who is alive again, for help. Now that he's human and Nathan is insane, can she fight the attraction she has to Cyrus?
