Sequel to Darksome Thirst. Alicia and Meg meet again and discover that the saga of Wesley and Frederick is not yet over. Something doesn't feel right, and as Meg's -- or should we say, Matricaria's -- coven prepares for the upcoming season of growth and light, they discover that something very dark is lurking.
Can Alicia, logic-worshipping proto-geek, stave off the vampire? Will Evan's congee burn in the pan? And what of the "Wizard of Westville"?
