Sophia can't stop thinking about the man calling to her in her dreams. She knows she's seen him before and knows somehow, he's connected to the death of her parents. With the suggestion of a friend, she heads out to Aura Springs to find someone who can help her. It's there that she learns this man is vampire and that vampires are real and not just the thing of scary stories.
Jace moved away from Aura Springs ten years ago vowing to never again involve himself with vampires. Now he's back in town for what should have been a short family visit. After what he believes is a vampire sighting at his niece's birthday party, he reconnects with his old friend and partner vampire hunter Sarah. It is through her that he meets a young woman, Sophia, from the town of Noxwood. Sophia has come to Aura Springs looking for answers that may be connected to the vampires from his past.
Nikolai and Quentin have spent the last ten years searching for a cure for the curse that has taken hold of Dac. Their search so far has turned up nothing and after Dac escapes the prison they have held him in they decide to reach out to Jace, hopeful his connection to an old vampire hunter could help. Jace reluctantly agrees to help in hopes that it will help Sophia since they believe it is Dac who has been reaching out to her. Their motivations may be different, and their allyship on thin ice, but their goals are all the same. Save the people they care about. But will they be able to cure Dac at all and if so, will they find him in time?
With Dac staying behind in Noxwwod and Nikolai being wounded, Harper must reckon with the vampire she has become and all the havoc she had caused when she was hell-bent on getting revenge. Facing herself in the mirror, she only sees herself as a monster as she holds on to deep secrets and hides her truest self from those around her, knowing they would never understand.
Meanwhile, Jace is devastated over the loss of his fiancée and is determined to find and destroy the vampire who killed her. He links up with a local vampire hunter named Sarah, and together they start their search for justice. When they turn to Sarah's great-grandmother Brigid for help, she refuses to acknowledge vampires even exist. Jace then seeks out an old vampire friend he thinks might be willing to help. When she refuses, Jace is forced to make a deal with a powerful Vampire named Luca. Picking up where Scorned in Blood leaves off, this becomes a tale of guilt, grief, and of course, even more revenge. When friends become enemies, and enemies become allies, who do you trust?
