Levin just wants to live in peace, but being required to bear a tattoo that identifies him as an Immortalis--a person whose body contains parasitic aliens that make their hosts crave blood--makes it impossible to fade into the background. Feared and discriminated against, Levin struggles to make a living, surviving off the meager amount of blood supplied by the government and his undercut salary.
Things have been the same for sixty years, and Levin doesn't expect anything to change.
Until he meets Dani.
Raised on dark news stories, Dani has a penchant for anything both grisly and true, but more importantly, she has an obsession with Levin, who she views as some sort of hero.
Dani pays no heed to the vicious rumors and baseless assumptions surrounding the Immortalis. But not every rumor may be as unfounded as she thinks.
Ari and Soren's adventures continue as Soren struggles with his new vampiric urges and a coven of witches attempts to recruit Ari for their own ends.
*****
As dark dreams plague Soren, Ari finds his new abilities difficult to control. Something is awakening within him, and as his power grows, he attracts the attention of a group of witches who call themselves the Hecataeon. They believe Ari is an emanation of the goddess Hecate - a physical manifestation of her power - and they want that power for themselves. With their relationship facing challenges from within, Ari and Soren must find a way to unite their strengths before external forces tear them apart.
