Eight-hundred year old vampire matriarch, Anna Breznik is in trouble. Worse, she's dragged a normal human into trouble with her. Brian Stettler is her nephew's assistant, an FBI agent, and he reminds her of her own children when they young so many centuries ago. Yet, some shadowy organization has kidnapped them both. Their goal: to understand what Anna is and control her. They will use any tool they have to accomplish this, including ending Brian's life. Anna has worked for too long to keep her family safe to allow power hungry, short-sighted idiots destroy it all. She imagines she'll have to murder her and Brian's way to safety, until their first inquisitor enters the room. Evander Gunn is no ordinary US Army Military Intelligence officer. He's an expert interrogator and he's come to a black ops site at the request of Homeland Security. The subject he's ordered to question is a foreign diplomat, a small delicate woman, and she's been shot. Even worse, he recognizes her. He grew up listening to his grandfather's WW2 stories about working with the French Resistance. His gramps had one hand-drawn picture of the woman who saved his life. Now she's sitting on a gurney in front of Evan, covered in blood, looking for all the world like a lady at a tea party. Evan knows he must get Anna, and the baby FBI agent caught with her, to safety. It isn't long until he realizes that there is no safe place…
