When telepathic cocktail waitress Sookie Stackhouse sees a naked man on the side of the road, she doesn"t just drive on by. Turns out the poor thing hasn"t a clue who-or what-he is, but Sookie knows. It"s the vampire Eric Northman-but now he"s a kinder, gentler Eric. And a very frightened Eric, because it soon becomes obvious that whoever took his memory now wants his life.
