As the two groups join forces, Emhreeil undergoes a physical transformation as uncanny as the wolf’s: now she’s a winged elven vampire, consumed with bloodlust and evolving into an immortal being. Although powerful, her healing comes at the cost of her humanity. With each victory won against monsters and hunters living in the dungeon, she descends further into madness. And as she and the wolf prove themselves as apex predators, they begin to reach toward a godhood that Katherine and Scruffy don’t—and can’t—share.
