Blade to the Keep

Canny and ferocious, with the power of an ancient Goddess in her belly,

Rowan Summerwaite is the only person who can renegotiate the fragile Treaty between the

Vampire Nation and the Hunter Corporation, the last line of defense for humanity. A

meeting of this Joint Tribunal, as well as her new status as Liaison, sends Rowan

straight to the last place on earth she wants to be, the childhood home she’d escaped so

many years before—The First’s Keep. Raised at the knee of The First—the oldest Vampire

and leader of the Vampire Nation—honed into a weapon by the Hunter Corporation, wielding

ancient knowledge from the Goddess within, Rowan must navigate bloodthirsty Vampires and

Hunters alike. And she’s got to do it while managing a politically awkward but

undeniably deepened romance with Scion Clive Stewart. Failure in her role as Liaison

could mean all-out war, with humankind in the crosshairs. No pressure. Walking the path

between her two lives has already made Rowan a pariah. The choices she’ll have to make

will mean she becomes something even more Other and as a result she may lose those last

shreds of home she has left.
