In this life, she's a partner to one cop, dating another - a loving daughter, trusted friend, valued employee... But then, there's her other life. The life she leads as the vigilante wielder of the Dark Thing, the vampiric exoskeleton that is a shield as much as it is a weapon. It feeds on the blood of the guilty. It feeds on Samatha's criminal prey... When Samantha has an unsettling dream about her biological father, the Dark Thing leads her to a shopkeeper who seems to have answers to many of her questions... Answers about her father, the origin of the Dark Thing, its purpose. Samantha can't help but feel a little overwhelmed by the truth. When a deadly new threat emerges from the darkness of the City, Samantha learns that she isn't as invincible as she once thought. Who are these Hunters? Why do they want her dead? And why the Hell is she bleeding?
