In a tantalizing follow-up to Blood of the Gods, author Sapir A. Englard returns underground to the dangerous world of vampires, where war looms on the horizon and jealousy courses through cold veins.

Aileen Henderson is still finding her bearings among the vampires. After a nightmarish introduction to their world through death, then the Auction, she’s finally found favor—and more carnal pleasures—with Lord Ragnor Rayne. But not even the head of the Rayne League can stave off the dark brutality of this place.

Fearful of sharing her Sacred status, Aileen passes for a Common, deep beneath the city where she took her last breath. After the Hecatomb is announced, it’s harder to hide her secret. The deadly tournament pits two warring Leagues against each other. And its rules are binding.

As the combatants prepare for battle, Aileen finds her allegiance torn. Powerless against Ragnor’s fiery appeal, she’s caught between the present and the past when a former lover appears. And as jealousies rage and loyalties shift, there’s no telling which side will win…or what might be lost.
