Every life has a price.

Judah Black's been assigned a new partner just in time to solve a grisly double homicide. Trying to navigate suddenly being the junior agent is bad enough. Figuring out who -- or what -- crushed a vampire and his prey to death before freezing them solid in the back room of a fae-owned nightclub might as well be impossible. When one of the victims is identified as vampire royalty, vampire prince Crux Continelli declares a blood debt, vowing to punish the killer himself. But Crux's brand of justice could spark violence between the fae and vampires. Caught up in a struggle between two vampire factions, Judah races against time to bring a killer to justice before war breaks out. With her friends in the crosshairs, the stakes are even higher. If she fails this time, more than her job is on the line. Paint Rock and everyone she's come to know and love could be next.
