This is the second novel in the Blood Arena Trilogy, in which vampires were brought into the light, and recognized as an individual nation to all the world.
The world changed overnight after the vampires established their way of life as a religion. Cruise liners anchored just off every major shoreline worldwide to transport eager converts to the island with a promise of immortality.
Tomas and Iriria are busy getting ready for their high school graduation. The family has all come together to celebrate the twins' accomplishments when their lives are forever shattered. The men had long thought that they had successfully evaded the vampire's icy clutch on the twins. They soon find out that the vampires have been lying in wait, like a cobra in the tall grass biding its time before a deadly strike. The family must reveal hidden truths over eighteen years old to both Tomas and Iriria. The family bonds are tested, their preparations initiated, but there is a traitor among them. Something has gone amiss. Tomas is left vulnerable as Iriria gains strength.
The family must prepare the twins for their next phase in life, away from home. They scramble to decipher the clues that Ignacio left all those years ago. Now there is a new element that may provide the answers that the men have been overlooking, but it will come at a cost that none of them could have ever prepared for.
