Sarah Bishop is alone in the library of the castle of Sept-Tours, consulting ancient writings to help Diana decipher the Book of Life while she is surrounded by old books and manuscripts. Suddenly, she feels a familiar energy that invades her so she looks up. A vampire, who she knew in a previous life when she was the first Sarah Bishop and had contributed to the creation of the Book of Life, is there. Their history is marked by a relationship of love and hate, and their meeting awakens painful and passionate memories.

Sarah whispers, wary. "I know you're here. You've never been good at sneaking in."
