  <default_description>The seventh level of Hell is on the rise, with the death of The Chairman of the Vampire Council, who is none other than the Unnamed One's son. But this time, a ruthless and carefully planned strategy has been developed.
&lt;p&gt;There is only one entity who can best Damali, send Carlos Rivera packing and put the Guardian team at mortal risk. He was once banished into a forsaken land, and possesses everything that would drop a Neteru to his or her knees. This time, the fight is not so clear cut, nor is the enemy known. Now it's not only Damali's soul that she risks losing&amp;mdash;but her heart.</default_description>
