The baddest of the bad boys.... Gabriel is a five-hundred-year-old vampire with the soul of a killer. He has defeated his mother in battle for the territory of Baltimore and vowed vengeance upon his father, the Master of Philadelphia, for a centuries-old betrayal.
Jezebel, Gabriel's new fledgling, has a soul as scarred as his own, yet Gabriel finds that the ice around his heart slowly melts when she is near. But one of Gabriel's ancient enemies has targeted her - and if Gabriel wants to save her, he will have to abandon his plans for revenge and join forces with his father.
The question is not whether Gabriel can redeem himself from his past, but whether he can ever forgive himself for it.
