Zoey's Story
The narrative mode is told from multiple points of view in third-person limited (including Stark's, Kalona's, Aphrodite's, Heath's, Rephaim's, and Stevie Rae's) and first-person narrative in Zoey's point of view, as in previous books.
After Zoey's soul shattered, she reawakened in the Otherworld. The Council revealed that if her body were to remain unoccupied by her spirit, it will die in a week, although the return of a previously shattered soul was unheard of. Unwilling to take the chance, Neferet binds Kalona's soul with Darkness and sends him after Zoey to kill her.
Following a prophecy of Kramisha's, Darius, Aphrodite and Stark take Zoey's body to the Isle of Sgiach, a vampire who had previously separated from the main society. With the guidance of her Guardian, Stark undertakes journey to the Otherworld where he slays his Warrior self to become the Shaman and reach Zoey.
Upon reaching the goddess' realm, Stark follows his bond of loyalty to find Zoey, and Heath with her. Following a revelation from Nyx, Stark convinces Heath that he has to leave Zoey and move on so that she, in turn, can move on and save the world from Kalona and Neferet. Stark approaches Zoey afterwards, but she is initially afraid. To motivate her, Stark goes out of the sacred grove to fight Kalona. Realizing that she can't allow another one of her friends to die, she calls the pieces of her soul. However, before she can intervene, Kalona manages to kill Stark.
Zoey attacks Kalona and overpowers him, demanding the life-debt owed to her for Heath. Nyx appears forces him to revive Stark before banishing him again. Zoey fully accepts Stark as her Guardian and lets him drink from her so he could heal, and upon doing so the elements fill Zoey again and restore all of her tattoos. Following Spirit she returns to the real world, bringing him with her.
Stevie Rae's Story
To help her friends, Stevie Rae accidentally summons the white bull, which is Darkness personified, to find a way for Stark to enter the Otherworld. The bull gives Stevie Rae a poem and as payment for giving that knowledge, the white bull extracts his payment in her pain and her blood. Rephaim saves her at the last minute by offering himself and Stevie Rae summons the black bull and saves them both at the price of always staying connected to Rephaim's humanity.
Stevie Rae struggles with being bound to Rephaim and her growing feelings for him, eventually trying to break the Imprint by sleeping with Dallas. Upon Rephaim's arrival and his finding out about their bond, Dallas lets Darkness come into him and becoming the third red vampyre, with an affinity for Electricity, after the ensuing confrontation he flees.
On the following morning they both share their feelings for each other and Nyx reveals an image of Rephaim's human form in a fountain. On the time of Zoey's revival, the sky becomes clouded and a winged figure rises out of the water, signaling Kalona's return. Rephaim departs claiming he can't let go of his father.
