Musí zajít ke kadeřníkovi a vymyslet parádní účes. A nakonec je nutné sehnat to, s čím je obvykle největší problém - správného kluka.

Sexy, witty, chilling, and altogether remarkable, here is proof positive that some love matches are made someplace other than heaven.

A v neposlední řadě si Rachel taky musí vybrat, na čí stranu se postaví ve válce zuřící v městském podsvětí. Obzvláště když velmi výrazně přispěla k pádu předchozího upírského vládce. Bohužel byla přitom donucena uzavřít dohodu s mocným démonem, která jí může přinést věčnou bolest, utrpení a ponížení. A její temný "pán" si teď přichází pro to, co mu dluží.
Krutá noční stvoření, plížící se Cincinnati, čarodějku a lovkyni hlav Rachel Morganovou nenávidí. Zvěsti o její nové zálibě v temném umění poutají pozornost jak nemrtvých, tak i lidí. Všichni touží po jediném - Rachel ovládnout, dostat ji do postele a zabít. Nicméně ne nutně v tomto pořadí...
Nečekaně se vrací i Rachelin lidský milenec, který ji opustil a jehož teď dostihly hříchy minulosti. A pronásledují ho kruté bestie, připravené zničit Díru i všechny v ní, když to bude nutné, které touží po tom, co má Nick ve svém vlastnictví. Rachel ví, že se nesmí příliš vzpouzet, jinak jí hrozí věčné utrpení v rukou pomstychtivého démona. Přesto je nucena jednat. Poprvé za tisíciletí se totiž sbírá smečka odhodlaná pustošit a vládnout. A najednou je v ohrožení víc než jen Rachelina duše.
