Ever since Riley could remember, her life had been different. 
Like for example, mermaids lived in the rivers and waterways by her, most of her friends were either half-fairies or half-leprechaun. But her? She was abnormal compared to them. She was human, which was a rare occurrence.
And when her mom passed away, no one had even heard of the disease that had killed her.
When she was 13, her dad ran away, the stress of something driving him insane and no one, no even her friends that had special telepathy, could find him.
And then, when she thinks it can't get much worse, the king wants to personally see her and her brothers. Why? Not even she knows.
All she ever wanted was for her and her brothers to live a normal childhood, have some friends and get a good education. But now it seems that that's not what the universe wants them to do.

Ray is low on time, luck, and hope; his only chance is an artifact that may not even exist. But upon meeting Landon, Ray is beginning to believe he might find all four. ***** Cambions are doomed to tragedy. They are weak, sickly creatures that rarely live to see their twentieth year. Ray refuses to resign himself to that fate. Upon learning of the Crimson Sheath-an artifact capable of preserving his life-Ray is prepared to fight, steal, and kill to get his hands on it. He is not prepared for Landon. Landon is an orphan with no memories of his parents, the only inheritance left to him a dagger, sleeping in a crimson sheath. Though he has no love of bloodshed and no use for a dagger, Landon isn't about to let Ray take his only link to his forgotten history, even if that means following the cambion past the edge of the world and into the shadow beyond.
