Now she's called upon again to help unravel a centuries-old mystery that could be as dangerous as any case she's ever faced. To do it, she'll need to pull together her most trusted allies - including the sexy collective of vampires who call themselves "the Travelers," and the beautiful woman who might just be throwing them all under a bus.
