The Selection will be held, a sorting ground for the new Vale to choose one woman to be his immortal bride, but it's at the expense of hundreds of other women who will end up as blood slaves at the Tower. When the fanger community starts talking about the crowning of a new Vale, a vampire prince, she knows trouble is coming. Listening to the fangers, as she calls them, discuss what's happening in the vampire precincts lets Isabella learn things humans shouldn't know.

A blood oath to avenge her father will not allow her to rest until the vow is completed. Isabella has been hiding behind a shade for centuries, a spell that has concealed her identity for the last 500 years.
