The grand celebration of Syrriar is coming—a festival of vampires where everyone, without exception, will gather to mark an epoch-making event and demonstrate the greatness of the immortals. But are they truly so great? And is the clan they represent truly so mighty? What happened to the world since Julian disappeared? And there’s also the moment when Philip will pass his immortality onward is drawing near. So he travels to the feast with a heavy heart, carrying both his own will and his daughter’s. That means the feast promises nothing good—only the end of everything.
