Immortality is his, but love never will be only an eternity of loneliness, filled with the blood of innocent victims. But Jenny won t be one of them. Something about this beautiful young woman stirs feelings in Giancarlo that he hasn t known for centuries. For her, he will defy his dark brethren and fight to be mortal again. But he is a marked man. Ghoulish murders plaguing the city have made him the target of a relentless homicide cop. And a far more dangerous enemy one of unspeakable brutality and bloodlust hovers even closer . . . determined to annihilate Giancarlo and his last chance for salvation."
