In the final chapter of the Daughter of Zyanya series from Morgan J. Muir, a vampire is caught between saving her son, rescuing her love, and fulfilling her destiny.

Mariah knows all too well to pain of burning: from her transformation into a vampire to the tortuous ways her master burns her hair to keep her in line. Even so, she would have no qualms doing the same to the man who made her a vampire, especially to save her still-mortal son. But she can't defeat him without help, though she has tried. Any further missteps will cost her her son's life.

Mikhael has finally freed himself from the unwanted attentions of his false wife, but remains under the absolute control of his vampire sire. The only thing that keeps him from throwing himself into the flames is the soul of the dark-haired woman who haunts him, desperate to protect her son. Could she be the key to his freedom?

Mariah has bided her time, growing her strength and skills, desperate to keep her son safe. As Mikhael and Mariah are pulled inextricably toward each other, the danger from their respective masters grows.

But, come life or death, prophecy will be fulfilled.
