In this stunning conclusion to the bestselling Ravenous Fate duology, Elise abandons her legacy as heiress to a glittering empire to ally herself with the criminals and reapers--vampires--of the city's underworld, including Layla, the reaper she loves. Together they must discover the truth behind an alluring new poison that ravages New York. It's 1927, and shocking upheavals have rocked Harlem's most powerful factions and left Elise Saint estranged from the reaper she loves, Layla Quinn. The Saint family empire is in decline, the neighborhood's notorious reaper lair has lost their ancient matriarch, and gangster-run blood houses are peddling debauchery to humans and reapers alike. Elise is desperate to find her beloved little sister, Josi, who has been poisoned with the reaper affliction--bitten, but not quite turned vampire. Layla must contend with unrest in the Harlem clan while trying to control the violent impulses that a so-called "cure" for reapers awakened in her. With shifting alliances and new players in the city's underworld, Elise and Layla can't trust anyone, let alone one another. Yet both suspect sinister forces behind the mysterious reaper-venom drug that's all the rage with thrill-seeking blood house patrons.

When the drug's effects have deadly consequences, the two are joined in purpose as they trace the origins of the elixir. They will risk everything to unearth the secrets of reaperhood, where the shadowy boundaries between the dead and the living are even more treacherous than they imagined.
