The story of Ryan Alexander continues in this third installment of the Blood Legacy series. Although superficially resembling a vampire, Ryan possesses all of the mythical creature's abilities and none of its weaknesses. Surrounded by ancient beings who seek to dominate her by force or seduction, she has become the most powerful of her Kind. Due to Victor's illness, she is compelled to lead the hierarchy. Ryan assumes command but is troubled by dark dreams, images that do not belong to any of her Kind. With growing concern, Ryan realizes the dreams belong to one preceding her father. Just as she begins to solidify power, new enemies appear, challenging not only her supremacy but her conception of all that she is. Once thought immortal, she is confronted with the unimaginable: defeat and destruction. For the first time in her life, Ryan faces the possibility of death. And although many of the predators of her Kind would face such a fate with horror or dread...Ryan finds it exhilarating.

In the past, a young peasant boy grows to manhood in a violent, bloodthirsty world. In the present, a mysterious woman is found in the morgue and slowly begins returning to life. Susan Ryerson, a genetic researcher, treats the mortally injured woman and against her will is drawn into Ryan's world. She learns of Victor, the man who gave Ryan immortality, and learns of Ryan's terrible revenge against those who killed her parents. The story weaves through six centuries, from the battle of Agincourt to the corruption and perversity of the Borgia Pope's court. Susan soon learns of the Others, the creatures who are also Ryan's Kind, and only then begins to understand the dark and erotic world that Ryan lives in. Against her better judgment, Susan Ryerson continues to seek the secrets of Ryan's immortality for the sake of science. And she begins to suspect that Ryan has not told her everything...

Ryan Alexander has been left physically and mentally battered from contact with the species that spawned her Kind. Although her power has increased exponentially, she has little control over her new abilities. Worse, as memories of the origins of the Old Ones surface, her own memory begins to suffer. Those closest to Ryan watch her internal battle with growing unease as she herself wonders if she has become a threat to all that she loves. When she begins seeing creatures that no one else sees, she does not know if her guilt is manifesting as illusion, or if she is simply losing her mind. Dr. Susan Ryerson monitors her friend's increasing instability. She is not certain if Ryan has been sickened by blood contact with the parent species, or if this is simply the aftermath of Ryan's torture and captivity. But it was a blood mutation that created Ryan and her Kind, giving rise to the myth of the vampire, and now Susan wonders if a second transition is occurring, if in fact Ryan is undergoing a second Change. Which brings to her mind a most terrifying question...into what? Book #4 in the Blood Legacy series.
