Lethia and Thana cannot be within arm's reach of each other without death entering the equation. From the moment they met — a vampire and a werewolf, natural enemies in every sense — they have been locked in a violent game of push and pull that has lasted more than three hundred years and consumed more blood than either can account for. Lethia has decided she is done with it. The only ending available to this particular story is the one where Thana kills her. She is prepared to accept it.
