Nineteen year old Victoria Gardella Grantworth is finally getting her debut. She should have received it two years ago, but the death of her Grandfather and Father delayed her coming out. Her debut becomes the toast of London society. She quickly catches the eye of Lord Phillip de Lacey but is unable to focus on his attention because a sudden urge has her wanting to destroy vampires. She is confused about these feelings and consults her Aunt Eustance.

Her Aunt explains the feelings she is experiencing are quite normal for one of true Gardella descent. For with each generation of Gardellas there is one who is chosen to carry on the family legacy. Victoria learns that she is the one who will fulfill her family’s prophecy and that her Aunt will serve as her teacher. She sees this as an ideal opportunity to have an unlimited amount of freedom. What she never anticipates is she would find herself caught between answering her heart's desire or slaying the one that she loves.

The paranormal world should rejoice for a new Queen has emerged! Colleen Gleason has written an explosive debut novel that is assured to please paranormal fans for a long time to come. This is the first in a series that is destined to be one that will go down in history. Very highly recommended.
