200 years ago a war was fought between humans and vampires. Humans were losing as the war continued, so they pulled out their last resort. A solar bomb. It was so powerful that the whole world was scorched, only a few humans and a few vampires survived.
The first 100 years people stayed underground, but then the Earth regrew to its natural state. Forests, deserts, vast rivers, tundra. The only trace of humans were the odd buildings that survived, but even they were crumbling.
Humans came back to the surface, but they weren't alone, the vampires rose again...
Karna, an 18 year old girl, was left alone in this world alone as a child. She was raised in the only human encampment for miles. The military was in charge of human protection, but they were cruel people, they hurt anyone that even slightly spoke against them, they even let a vampire slip past one night...
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.
