By day...
Los Angeles, 2040: When the terrorist known as Medusa threatens to kill millions with a stolen nuclear bomb, Nick Jameson makes a fateful decision. He reveals himself on global television as a Daywalker - a vampire with a soul. To save Los Angeles, Nick exposes not only his own gifts but three separate cultures based on millennia-old magic.
By night...
The three metahuman races exist in careful balance, working to maintain a fragile peace. Nick and his fellow Daywalkers successfully master their natural bloodlust. The Sentinels, armed with both magic and steel, repress their warlike instincts. And even some Nightwalkers, normally their natural enemies, have deserted the Court of Shadows to join the triple alliance. Nick Jameson is deeply involved with two such Nightwalkers - handsome Lorcan and powerful Rory. Both men love Nick. But neither can protect the new Ambassador to Humanity from the events he has set in motion.
By the sword...
Jeremy Harkness was lured into Medusa's service under false pretenses. A loner with no one and nothing to cling to, he was willing to die for his cause. But the night Medusa tried to obliterate Los Angeles, Jeremy met Nick Jameson, triggering the onset of his own psychic gifts. For Jeremy is the third race of metahuman, a Sentinel, born to kill the Nightwalkers with no quarter asked or offered. And neither Medusa nor the Court of Shadows will settle for peace when they can make war.

"My first impression of this book was: "Wow, this is one hefty book!!" - and you definitely get a whole lot of book for the price with this unique vampire novel! A mix of fantasy and sci-fi, there are several intertwining plots and many characters to keep track of, which can make it a littel confusing despite the glossary, cast, and timeline at the beginning. There were also a few small editing errors, but considering the size of the book they really were not very common and didn't detract from the quality of the story. An overarching theme in the novel was love, and I found it refreshing that many kinds of love were represented throughout, although it was a little bit skewed toward homosexual love. But overall this was an interesting, complicated book filled with an incredible world of beings and I would definitely continue to read this series! Highly recommended for all readers of vampire novels, sci-fi novels, or general fantasy/magic novels."
