The book begins with Lenobia, who is asleep and dreaming deeply about her former human love, Martin, who died while saving her in a fire. Lenobia is uncertain if Travis, the new horse-keeper hired by Neferet, is Martin's reincarnation. She decides that she must determine this because if Travis is Martin reincarnated, then she must let him know that she cannot get involved in a romantic relationship with him because her heart cannot handle being broken like it did the last time. Meanwhile, Neferet kills Dragon's cat, Shadowfax, as a payment to Darkness in order to ensure that Aurox will kill Rephaim during the ritual that is being performed by Zoey, Stevie Rae, and the rest of the gang. Neferet accidentally causes a gas lamp to fall over, which sets fire to the stables. Lenobia wakes up to find Travis running into the fire-filled stables trying to free the horses. Overtaken by a sense of déja vu, she runs after Travis in an attempt to rescue him.

The fire grows and destroys the stables. Lenobia, with the help of Nicole, succeeds in saving the horses and Travis, who is taken to a local hospital. The professors and Shaylin arrive; using her True Sight, Shaylin mentions that she saw dark in Neferet, and that the colors of Nicole's aura were better. Meanwhile, Lenobia is preoccupied about Dragon's disappearance. Thanatos and the 'nerd herd' arrive with Kalona, demanding explanations about the atrocity.
