In the slave pens of Vioska, a quest for revenge becomes a journey towards salvation.

In a desperate bid to gather intelligence on their vampiric foes, Kyra sends Emil on a perilous mission to infiltrate Vioska, where he seizes the chance to exact revenge on the creatures that stole his one true love. Leaving the safety of Montreal Ward behind, he ventures into the chaotic wilds of the Inbetween, ready to face whatever dangers lie ahead.

But if the vampires discover his true intentions, they won’t just destroy him—they’ll transform him into an undead killing machine. Emil welcomes the danger; it’s a chance to feel something—anything—again.

What he doesn’t expect is to find a new purpose amid the horrors of the slave pens in Vioska, where hope flickers like a dying flame.
