Saito Izumi, a centuries old vampire has done and been many things. During the late 1700’s she found herself a pirate—excuse me—a privateer on the ship, the Devil’s Rose. In this tale from the Irish Cycle series, Saito must act quickly if she is to save herself and the life of her lover, Privateer Captain William Taylor Howe. But, for every action there is a consequence, as Saito soon discovers—deadly and unholy consequences.
