Over four hundred years ago, her father named her Bright Sea Bird, but that was before she met Demetri Vasile and was introduced to the dark pleasures and ravaging pains of the Kingdom of Shadows. Now hiding in plain sight, her name is Khalida Raven, and she's the lead singer for the most popular Goth band since Marilyn Manson. On tour with Sinister Sisters and on the run from Demetri and those vampires who would bring the Kingdom of Shadows openly among humankind, as well as human vampire hunters, Khalida and her guardian, the gunfighter/vampire Lincoln J. Daynes, will have to rely on their charm, wit, and seductive abilities if they want to live.
