Vivian is taught a lesson in humility when she is discovered in the secret encampment having her way with Elvira. The succubus fought, but Irena and the headmistress overpower her and she finds herself a prisoner. Irena is enraged with Vivian and tells her that she is a fool and may have caused irreparable damage to their coven. She is to wait for the mage to decide her fate. When the mage arrives and studies Vivian, she is pleasantly surprised. There is more to Vivian than any of them had known. The mage realizes that the joining of Vivian and Elvira has produced a special kind of magic that could help the coven. She asks Vivian to make more and invites the other trainees to participate in the sharing of lust and passion. Vivian soon finds that she can channel everyone’s arousal and the night becomes a marathon of lovemaking that ends up producing more fiery magic than the mage could have ever thought possible. In the end, she realizes that the succubus could be the answer to the coven.

Vivian might be a succubus, but that doesn’t mean she’s all powerful. Being faced with the harsh lesson that what she wants might not be reality, is a lot to consider. Pride comes before a fall and if she cannot learn what she wants, and express it fully, there might be nothing left than a succubus.
Following on immediately from the ending of the prior work, the focus is mainly on Vivian being brought to heel by the coven she has intruded on. She’s made to face some harsh truths about the mask, abut what it does, and what a succubus is.
