"So, my sweet, what happens next?" Raina Fallamhain has yet again found herself being thrown into the violent world of vampire politics, granted a title of royalty that she neither wants nor can she escape. Having lost so much already, Raina is on a path toward vampiric self-destruction while simultaneously trying to save everyone else around her from following her into oblivion. It is only when she has finally hit rock-bottom, just when she has caught her first glimmer of hope for recovery, that she is literally dragged away from her current life. Trapped by an enemy she never expected to meet, but one she has somehow always known, Raina suddenly finds herself in a position where her own future, as well as that of someone else, is dependent not only upon the skills of her loved ones but also her own will to survive. "Mortal Consumption" is the second in the final trilogy of the Raina series.
