A secret and uneasy alliance remains the only option. Unwillingly thrust into power, HigherBrook must now trust Gria, the very person who had led the massacre of Crossroads' hunters.

Another partnership proves even more disturbing. As Gria and TripStone plot to destroy Destiny Farm, what began as a fringe militia has expanded into a fullblown Yata army. Destiny Farm's meat keeps Crossroads alive, but every sale bankrupts Crossroads further and increases the risk of Basc's Yata becoming livestock.

TripStone's ticket into Promontory is the meat trader BrushBurn. Each seeks to manipulate the other, but their mutual attraction and unsettling intimacy place both at risk.

Unaware of the fate that has befallen Crossroads, TripStone's comrade Ghost and his pregnant wife Piri search for a home where they can raise their hybrid child in peace. But no place is safe, and Piri risks giving birth in the deepest heart of danger. ]]> 1280393 4.09 22 4 2009 7244603 0981976425 9780981976426 0 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1259813902m/7244603.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1259813902s/7244603.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7244603-destiny 0.0 0
Bent on destroying Destiny Farm, TripStone arrives in Promontory as an advance scout for Gria's forces. But the more she learns about that city and its history, the more she doubts her mission. And the more she learns about BrushBurn, the more her feelings for him tear her apart.

Unaware of the mission, Ghost fears TripStone dead as he struggles to protect his new family. The very people hiding them are under pressure to unlock Destiny's secrets, giving Masari control of the drug…

… while back in Crossroads, HigherBrook must find a way to save his people as they face certain invasion.]]> 1280393 4.09 22 4 2009 7202557 1449582966 9781449582968 0 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7202557-vampyr-verse 0.0 0 137645 3.89 38 1 429263 4.33 3 2 3190286 0.0 0 0 3190287 0.0 0 0 31262 3.59 22 1 2933334 4.00 2 0 36182 3.82 268 8 2092036 0.0 0 0 3190288 0.0 0 0 74688 3.45 1134 32 951404 4.50 2 2 1201706 4.00 6 3 1280393 4.09 22 4 1448864 5.00 1 1 1015646 5.00 1 1 1157044 4.75 8 1 2009
