From Publishers Weekly
Banks's sizzling eighth Vampire Huntress Legend (after The Forsaken) explodes with the wrath of Cain, who burns with obsessive passion for the Neteru vampire huntress, Damali, and hatred for her new husband, Carlos Rivera. Completely turned to the dark side, Cain takes his father's throne in Hell, recalls the evil master vampire, Fallon Nuit, from the Sea of Perpetual Agony and pursues the amorous newlyweds. Cain's mother, Eve, is so devastated by her son's evil transformation that all humanity's fecundity is adversely affected. Nuit starts assembling a thoroughly nasty new army and messes with Damali and Carlos while the ancient Council of Neteru Kings and Queens readies for war and Armageddon. In her inimitable combination of street and baroque language, Banks offers more dramatic sex, action-packed good vs. evil adventure and multicultural mythology to reinforce ethical lessons. (Feb.)

Product Description

Damali and Carlos have finally tied the knot, but there is no happily ever after on the horizon. Cain, the son of Eve and the new chairman of the Vampire Council is amassing an army of creatures like no one has ever seen before. But while a band of human scientists are conducting secret experiments they open the dimension that holds Cain and he is released into the human world, bigger and badder than ever. Her family slaughtered, Damali heads for hell to serve justice and faces off with a nemisis the likes of which she has never encountered. Carlos doesn't take his wife's disappearance lightly and races against time to get Damali back... only to learn that his wife might be pregnant. The question: is the child his or the Chairman's?
