Leading the things which go bump in the night

is Sam Bauers job. She unwittingly inherited this task from her Uncle Lawrence almost a year ago. As her powers and knowledge grow, Sam must find a way to keep the clans unified against a terrible ancient enemy which has returned from the past. The decisions Sam has to make become even more dangerous than the fangs and claws she sees on a daily basis.

The balance between her personal and public life is also blurring. Sam must choose what she will allow herself to become, without losing her humanity.
