Along the way, there are trips to the past (including a horrifying encounter with a thoroughly despicable Kit Marlowe), and a subplot involving Matthew’s vampire sons.

And I am not done with you yet.” Diana’s mission is to break down the “separation of the supernatural races” rules imposed by a group called the Congregation.
