(The spinoff to Midnight After Midnight. Can be read as a standalone.) In the small town of Ravenseye, a girl named Madeline Warren lives a stifled existence, characterised by poverty, vampires and religious zealotry. She's a passionate soul who wants only to be released from her cage, which happens when she falls in love with a woman she'd never known before and becomes a vampire shortly after. Her life seems to be ruined, but she can't give up. It's not only her identity that's at stake, but also her existence, and, more importantly, her entire being.
