Die young, or become the eternal incarnation of Justice. What would you choose?

Bethany Anne Reynolds is a government cold case investigator who wouldn’t back down even if she knew how. Her temper is short, her command of creative cursing is enough to make the battle-hardened blush, and her devotion to getting justice borders on the obsessive.

Even her impending death doesn’t slow her down.

Bethany Anne has the rare blood disorder that killed her mother at the same age. Her time to make things right for those who couldn’t defend themselves is running out.

The only hope she has of surviving is a world-weary vampire whose legendary inflexible honor has brought him to his breaking point.

Only Michael knows that the truth about the supernatural lies in the stars.

Ruling the UnknownWorld with an iron fist for over a thousand years has left him exhausted to the core, and the modern world has given his enemies everything they need to fight back against his strictures.

Michael is drawn to the fire in Bethany Anne’s spirit and makes his decision. He is ready to hand everything he has to a worthy successor and go quietly into the night.

By choosing Bethany Anne to succeed him, is he biting off more than he can chew?

The UnknownWorld is about to get a new Queen. One who sees the best or worst of humanity in everyone and treats them accordingly.

With the special-ops team she is assigned to and her government contacts backing her, Bethany Anne sets out to make sense of the mess Michael left behind.

Will the UnknownWorld accept her? Will they survive her if they don’t?
