Book #2 in the bestselling "Vampire Spy" series!
Nora Kelly, a crucial part of an elite team of MI spies, has one successful mission under her belt, but a prophetic nightmare, containing a flashback of her past, has given her and Andrik cause to wonder if she is up to the next mission the Realm has assigned to them.
In Victorian Shanghai, maintaining the Qing Dynasty as the ruling government is in Her Majesty's best interest, but that interest has been threatened by the Small Sword Society which has taken over the governmental palace of Shanghai and threatens to upset the lucrative flow of the Realm's Indian opium into China.
Struggling with her own distaste of the destructive powers of opium, Nora is tasked with infiltrating the Small Sword Society, using her special skills of seduction, so that Her Majesty can determine the strength of the rebellion. However, a very powerful immortal with an army of jaingshi (Chinese vampires) has determined that Nora just might be the missing element in her own quest to rule China.
When Nora does not report for her usual check in, fellow agent and vampires, Andrik, is forced to assemble a rather odd mixture of allies in order to rescue her. Now, they must track Nora down before a devastating attack rattles the realm...and before the jaingshi silence Nora forever.
Genre: Thriller
