The final entry in award-winning, NYT bestselling author Colleen Gleason's international bestselling Gardella Vampire Hunter Series.
"Vampires have met their match with Victoria Gardella,"* but now the huntress faces an even greater evil as London is besieged by malevolent entities no mortal was ever meant to encounter...
Directly descended from the very first vampire hunter in the Gardella family, Victoria knows she must continue the lineage so humanity will have protectors against the undead. While Sebastian Vioget appears to both the perfect warrior and lover to ensure the Gardella Legacy, Victoria cannot forget Max Pesaro--the former slayer still haunted by the vampire queen Lilith's obsession with him.
But it is Lilith's obsession that may save all of humanity. Demons, enemies of both mortals and the undead, have found their way to earth. To defeat them, vampires and slayers must fight side by side. But Lilith wants Max in return for her cooperation--a small price for the world, but too high a price for Victoria.

Genre: FICTION / Romance / GeneralVictoria Gardella Grantworth de Lacy, Dowager Marchioness of Rockley, had a problem—and for once, it didn’t have to do with vampires.
Well, that wasn’t precisely true—it did, in an oblique way. There really wasn’t any part of her life that had nothing to do with the undead.
Ever since her great-aunt Eustacia had informed Victoria, two years ago, that she was the next in their long family line of Venators—vampire hunters—Victoria’s life had become filled with the red-eyed undead and their gleaming fangs, sharp wooden stakes secreted on her person, and the challenge of appearing normal to the rest of London Society.
Victoria was anything but normal, for she wore a holy strength amulet, the vis bulla. The tiny silver cross every Venator wore pierced through their skin imbued them with the extraordinary powers of their calling: speed, strength, and fast-healing capabilities.
But despite her unique skills, Victoria’s current problem was of a more common variety for a young woman.
It had to do with a man.
She looked at the rich bloodred gown her maid had pressed in anticipation of tonight’s ball given by the Duchess Farnham. It lay spread on the hip-high bed in all of its lush glory. With its low décolletage, clean lines, and understated frills, this was the kind of frock that would, like a magnet, attract a gentleman’s attention to her person as he attempted to keep his chin off the floor and his gloved hands to himself.
With her creamy skin and thick, dark hair, full red lips and thick-lashed eyes, the gown would merely be the final touch to a magnificent presentation.
