Elena is a young vampire, but that is the least of her concerns. She left the land she calls home because of a law set forth by the dark governor, Countess Domnina. The law—that Elena and her true love, Decio, never be together. The rules set forth by the countess are never to be questioned, and never have been--until now. Elena has grown into a defiant young woman over the years and has decided she will no longer suffer the pain of living without her soul mate. When she confronts the countess, however, she is reminded that her home, the realm of shadows, can be a quite surprising and dangerous place.
