Il XXI secolo è alla fine. Trent'anni sono passati da quando il pacifico Milieu Galattico ha accolto la Terra nella sua federazione e presto l'umanità sarà chiamata a far parte dell'Unità, la mente collettiva che raccoglie le razze aliene dell'universo.

Soon Alec is traveling roads he never knew existed, toward a war he never suspected was brewing. Before long he and Seregil are embroiled in a sinister plot that runs deeper than either can imagine, and that may cost them far more than their lives if they fail.

First her co-worker is killed, and no one seems to care. Then she comes face-to-face with a beastly creature which gives her a painful and poisonous lashing. Enter the vampires, who graciously suck the poison from her veins (like they didn't enjoy it). The point is the vampires saved her life. So when one of the bloodsuckers asks for a favour, she obliges - and soon Sookie's in Dallas, using her telepathic skills to search for a missing vampire. She's supposed to interview the humans involved, but she makes one condition: the vampires must promise to behave, and let the humans go unharmed.
