Adrianna Bristol stood before her grandmother's antique mirror and stared at the black velvet cloth covering it. She just couldn't believe her nana was gone. The mirror had hung in that exact same spot for the last twenty years, never once had it been moved from the alcove. Adrianna remembered the stern words of her grandmother when she was a child. Annabel Bristol had told her, "promise me Adrianna that you will never uncover the mirror. No matter what it may whisper to you, you must never remove the cover." Adrianna laid her hand against the cool velvet which covered the glass. As she walked away the mirror whispered to her, "you belong to me now. You belong to me."

It was the dawn of a new age. The world of the mortals embraced a new God and a new Religion. Mighty Kings came to power who served the will of their people and the will of their God. Ruthless Kings used their power to control their subjects and reeked havoc against the land and their people. The nation of vampires expanded and blended seamlessly into the world of the mortals in a way that Ari and her family could never envision. Ari is faced with decisions that she must make to keep the Vampire Nation safe, including placing her husband as one of the most despised rulers in all of Europe when propositioned by King Mathias. The planetary alignment of 2012 looms in the distance, an alignment greater than the one under which the six of them were born. What the future holds for the Sumerian Dragons, the children who were born of Lilith, after the 2012 alignment is a fate that will change the world of vampires forever.
