Cassandra is a young woman who has a powerful gift of vision. Powerful enough to attract the attention of a Vampire Master who killed her parents when she was 4 years old to possess. On the run for years, here is the murderer of his parents found him and wants revenge for the insult she did it (report its activities to the police). But when all seems lost, here she is rescued in extremis by the Senate of the Vampires who has plans for her. For Cassandra does not know it yet, but she is anything but a mere showy ... Cassandra is, as always in this kind of work a strong head, but unlike other novels of the genre, it is by no means gifted in combat (whether magic or combat) and dependent on others for defend (a detail that changes little compared to other works of the genre). Level history, I admit that it is rather special. We start in a sort of fight time travel or be 2 (including Cassandra) compete in the past to affect the old vampires design so that it reflects on the current war of vampires. It is rather original but it will not please everyone, especially the narration of Karen Chance quite cumbersome and do not have bed as easily as other novels of the genre. The result of the events that keep coming with quite slow and which will soon lose patience more impatient. A novel that remains quite special and I would recommend for those who want a little change of air in the area of Bit-bed (especially as Cassandra Palmer covers are among the most beautiful in the genre).
