When the Thrall Queen Wants You ... Run! In the ER after a minor traffic accident, Kate Reilly is attacked by Monica Micah, the Queen of Denver, Colorado's Thrall population, The Thrall -- vampire parasites -- have been preying on humans for thousands of years, using us as both hosts and food. Kate killed a Thrall Queen and became Not Prey, so by the Thrall's own rules, Monica should be giving Kate a wide berth. Instead, Monica wants Kate dead. Eventually. First, she wants to force her to become the things she hates most in the world: a new Thrall Queen. Worse, though Monica broke the rules, Kate can't: if she hides or flees, she'll lost Not Prey status. Not that Kate thinks seriously about running away. Too many people rely on her in one way or another: the tenants in the apartment building she owns; her brothers; her ex-boyfriend and his seriously unpleasant wife; a missing sixteen-year-old girl Kate has promised to find before the Thrall do; and Tom, the handsome werewolf who just moved in downstairs. No. Kate's not going anywhere. Kate Reilly is Not Prey. She's going to fight.
