Eilidh was a normal university student until her parents died and her brother disappeared. Now, three years on she's finally ready to get her life back on track, even if that means working as a stripper to pay her way through finishing her degree. That decision seems to be paying off, right until a customer decides she should be his personal play thing. As punishment for refusing him, he fatally wounds Eilidh and the only option left to her is to make a deal with the devil, so to speak. The only problem is, she's not really sure what the fanged demon is asking for in return for her life. Even though she agrees, she can't help feeling she might one day regret that decision.
After all, vampires may have conceded to live by human rules but their natures haven't changed. Some of them still crave fear, pain, seduction and the darkest types of corruption.
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.
