Jenn Leitner has been appointed the leader of Team Salamanca and she feels like she is in over her head. After a failed attack in New Orleans, she is struggling to deal with the guilt she feels over not being able to rescue her sister Heather before Heather was converted. Now she prays that Father Juan and Antonio will be able to save Heather and restore her humanity.

The Cursed Ones are rising up and their power is growing. Humanity is losing the battle and governments all over the world are caving and signing peace treaties with the vampires, but the vampires have no intention of keeping these treaties. Team Salamanca is one of few surviving resistance cells, and the future of humanity may depend on them. Jenn must set aside her guilt and uncertainty about her ability to lead or it may just cost her everything.

This sequel to Crusade takes us all over the world, from Spain to Russia to the United States and back to Spain again. Nancy Holder and Debbie Viguie have created a future that is terrifyingly realistic. No sparkly, hunky vampires in this world, the Cursed Ones may be handsome but they are completely evil. Of course, Antonio has been the exception to this rule, but in Damned, he, too, is forced to face the monster within. Holder and Viguie finally give us a glimpse into Team Salamanca’s past and what led each of them to become hunters. Damned has a surprising casualty list, but the war is far from over.
