Anna Walker’s hunt for the Grail Cup—the relic of eternal life—puts her directly in Lucifer’s sights. To force her hand, he threatens the one person she cannot lose: her mother. As Anna races to claim the relic, vampiric zealots rise to steal it, and every path is fraught with betrayal. Through it all, Kincade remains her anchor, fighting at her side and determined to keep her from the dark lord’s grasp. But when an unlikely ally with divine power joins their fight, even his strength may not be enough to protect her.

Anna Walker’s quest for the Holy Relics grows more dangerous by the day. Pursued by Azriel, tormented by a destroyer angel sent to lure her into darkness, and bound by her deepening feelings for Kincade, she struggles to hold on to the light. But when the Prince of Greed demands she destroy her own family—or forfeit her soul—Anna must confront the shadows within herself. Her only hope lies in recovering the Staff of Moses, but every step draws her closer to damnation.

As Anna battles time and temptation, a new threat emerges: the Knights of the Holy Lance, a faction with an army of engineered dream walkers and a twisted plan for the relic.
