"Ricardo de Avila would have followed Coronado to the ends of the earth. Instead Ricardo met with the end of his mortal life--and a new one, as the renegade vampire, Rick. For over five hundred years, Rick has infuriated the demon world. He had ferociously protected his found-family from marauding vampires, joined forces with a legendary gunslinger, appointed himself the Master of Denver, and called upon a church buried under the Vatican. Of late, Rick has made a famous friend: everyone's favorite werewolf talk-show host, Kitty Norville." -- Provided by publisher.
