An Aria for the Vampire

Cora has found herself in a pickle. Namely, she's dying. No one can change the hand that fate deals, yet Cora is offered a choice when she reaches the limits of what medicine can do to keep her alive. Will she defy fate and agree to an attempt to transform her into a vampire? The odds of success aren't good. Not to mention that vampires have earned a nasty reputation.

Survival was only the beginning. Adjusting to her new reality comes with a new set of extenuating circumstances that Cora must navigate with caution. First step: avoid going into the "family business" and becoming an assassin.

Cora gave up everything to stay alive. Her relationship, her home, and her actual life. She didn't even get a t-shirt to go with her ethically murky career path and the two foster kids who crash landed in her life. Parenting the powerful comes with growing pains no one could prepare Cora for.

As Cora hunts down the leads given to her by Andrew and Andrea, she stumbles across stories of the shadowy founder of the Evolved. The revelation puts her in a position she'd been congratulating herself for sidestepping. Cora has a choice to make. Will she stand by her principles and watch the world burn? Or will she accept the hand of fate and become the assassin she never wanted to be?

Cora's mission is clear: thwart the Stone before their doomsday plan plunges the world into chaos. Just a typical Tuesday. Intel leads her through the quaint, cobbled streets of Copenhagen, but the enigmatic Stone always seems to be one elusive step ahead, taunting her with cryptic, chilling messages and presenting a horrifying bargain-abandon the pursuit, and the doomsday device remains dormant. But Cora is no quitter.

The impossible has happened—Matt, the boyfriend Cora has both grieved and avenged, is . . . . . . Alive? As the doomsday clock ticks, Cora is thrust into a high-stakes game of alliance and betrayal. How can she unite beings of immense power and dubious loyalty to thwart a plan that could end humanity? With dark government forces emerging and her allies on the brink, Cora's legendary temper is a misstep away from igniting disaster. And she can't afford to lose her temper now.
