After living as a vampire outcast for so long, Christopher is finally daring to hope he might have found a place to belong. But his flashbacks are intensifying, drawing him closer to the moment he became a vampire… and the unimaginable price he paid to do it.

When Christopher realizes that he and the Shadow have more in common than he thought, he must face the worst sins of his past to embrace a future he’s still not sure he deserves. Yet as his internal struggle intensifies, so do the dangers at the monastery where he and Elizabeth are staying. An ancient vampire has begun a new hunt, and Christopher must be ready to sacrifice everything to protect those he loves. Only one question haunts him: what if the person he’s fighting for the hardest doesn’t want to be saved at all?

In this heart-pounding conclusion to the In Aeternum trilogy, Sister Allison Regina pushes the boundaries of urban fantasy to confront the consequences of human choices and the narrow road to redemption. Recommended for ages 14+.
