Octavia Beaumont, one of the original three vampires, is determined to win the trials and take control of the city. But as Red and Octavia navigate deadly challenges and political machinations, they must also confront the lies and betrayals that have shaped their past. Memories have been stolen. Secrets have been kept. And the line between love and hate has never been more blurred. As the trials progress, Red and Octavia's bond grows stronger, but so does the target on their backs. Enemies lurk in every shadow, and even allies can no longer be trusted. To survive the trials and uncover the truth... They must decide how much they're willing to sacrifice.
