Midnight almost ends forever, as blood loss and stress combine to bring him to unconsciousness on the floor of the foyer at the Alps Boulder Canyon Inn. Daniel vomits a horrific mixture of blood, cancer, and phlegm out of himself, and Keely finds him alone at home, just in time to get him admitted to a hospital. Midnight takes matters into his own hands, murdering Daniel in his hospital room with a vicious upper cut that shatters the Author's skull, sending fragments of bone into his brain. Desperate, Tiffany Melrose arranges a game of Hearts pitting Sunshine, herself, and Keely against Midnight, hoping that together they can defeat the Lord of Hell, and separate him from Who Ever He Was once and for eternity. Will Who and Keely find their happily ever after, or will they just be the last Deaths by Midnight?
