After the devastation of the assassin army's attack on Wolf Creek, Lucy is forced back into action when the Shadowmarked world tightens its grip on her. As she comes to terms with the fact that her father might still be alive, and on top of that, an evil vampire out to destroy her, it becomes a race to beat him to the all-powerful Sword of Michael, which could help him unleash hell on earth. Only one problem. No one has seen the Sword in hundreds of years. With the help of her friends, Lucy must track its location using the Keepers' Bloodmarked-related archives. But before she can do that, she has to bring Gavin back from unconsciousness. Just a typical day in the life of a vampire hunter.
