This graphic novel takes place a little after the events in Dead Beat, during the war between the Red Court vampires and the White Council. Harry and his team of wardens are sent to protect a group of scholars, but there is more going on than the White Council has divulged. In the story, we see Harry‘s half brother, Thomas Raith, again. I didn‘t always like the shift between Harry‘s and Thomas‘ povs; it could be confusing, but I liked the story.
