One year has passed since the events of Lady of Shadow and Lucilla finds herself exposed to a brave new world. Establishing residency in New Orleans, the vampire seeks to leave the tragedies in South Carolina behind her and begin anew. The city is ripe with potential, and Lucilla is determined to make it her own. She soon discovers, however, that fate has something else in store for her. Lucilla learns that she is not the only vampire in town. Much to her surprise, an entire coven of vampires known as The Order of Blood has been secretly governing The Big Easy for centuries. Their leader is Pandora, a vampire elder who rivals Lucilla in both beauty and power. Pandora invites Lucilla to join their ranks and she reluctantly accepts, hoping that her newfound brethren will give her the sense of belonging she so desperately desires. Not all is as it seems. Upon discovering a sinister plot that could reshape the world as she knows it, Lucilla must stop Pandora and her immortal disciples before their diabolical plan comes to fruition. To make matters worse, old enemies from her past have come to New Orleans to hunt down Lucilla. Savannah Tillman, a newly formed vampire, is hellbent on exacting her revenge against her maker. With Dorian Hunter and Detective Madeline Carmichael by her side, the newly formed trio will stop at nothing in their quest to bring the vampire to justice. Not only must Lucilla contend with the threat of The Order of Blood, but she must also somehow convince her pursuers to put aside old grievances and aid her in defeating Pandora’s bloodthirsty plot!

Author Kevin T. Fee, Jr. returns to bring the next haunting chapter in the harrowing saga of Lucilla, Mistress of Sorrow.
