The shadows grow longer around the ancient Vampire, Theo's, home. Ed and Liam flee from her decrepit grasp, escaping onto the frozen streets of rural New Hampshire. All the while Liam's sister, Livie, remains locked away in Theo's haunted home as barter for their imminent return.
Fearing for his sister's safety from both Theo and his own Vampiric self, Liam spirals deeper into the abysmal nightmare of his own mind, battling the creature he's become. Haunted by the ghost of his ex-fiance Parker, Liam realizes there's only one way out of his new ghoulish reality.
Ed, seeing his best friend fade away, reaches blindly into the icy shadows of their shared eternal darkness, desperate to pull him back to his side lest Liam succumb to the Vampire completely and lose the last pieces of his soul with it.
As the nightmarish call of Theo continues to thrum in the recesses of Ed's mind, he realizes he has more to lose to his captor than his grip on reality. This forces him to truly grasp all the horrors of his new world, for in the eternal shadow of the Vampire there is nowhere to run...
Desiring nothing more than her children to love her unconditionally, Theo patiently awaits for Ed and Liam to come back into her loving embrace. She knows this brood will be different from all the others she's lost over the centuries. This time things will work out just right...
After all, how could her boys refuse her gift after everything she's given them?
