After many years away, Edgar Le Compte has finally returned to Thaxos. While the island's residents are horrified by his arrival, Edgar is determined to reassert his family's ancient rule. Edgar is the latest in a long line of vampires, and he knows that he can delay this moment no longer. A powerful force is threatening to rise and challenge his family, and the final stage of an ancient prophecy is about to strike.

Meanwhile, Kate Langley has also arrived on Thaxos. Exhausted and desperately in need of a relaxing holiday, Kate wants nothing more than a few weeks of calm on the Greek island. Unfortunately, she's about to find herself drawn into the world of the Le Comptes. A deadly creature lurks in the darkness, waiting to strike, while in the heart of the harbor town an old woman warns that the island is about to be struck by disaster.

Can Kate escape the interest of Edgar Le Compte? Is Edgar powerless to stop the forces of destiny? And as the souls of the dead prepare to return, can anyone ever truly escape the vengeance of the past?

This is the first book in the long-running Dead Souls saga. Each book ends with a cliffhanger, and readers are advised to start at the beginning.
