The Comtesse, ruler of the European vampire nation, can be blamed for Nat’s current uncomfortable incarceration. Natalie has three important tasks ahead of her. Her first objective is to escape from her underground prison. The second goal is to hunt down the Comtesse and introduce her to the holy marks on Nat’s palms. The third task is the most daunting; she must discover who or what is behind the cause of the sentient shadows that only she can see.As the long awaited and highly unanticipated Mortis, Nat has abilities that no other vampire has ever possessed before.

The ancient prophecy predicts that it is her destiny to wipe out the vast bulk of her own kind.Natalie has learned one undeniable fact since becoming a vampire, despite all of the weird and wacky powers that she has gained, not even Mortis can avoid her fate.
