This is a story about a 16 year old hybrid vampire, a Vampiric prince, Love, Trust, and the wish for eternal freedom.
"For as long as I can remember my people have been in charge. My dad sometimes told me stories about how us Vamps came to power. He would tell me how we over threw the humans and took their freedom. We made them our slaves, or in other words our pets. I was okay with this, for a while, that is until I found out what I am. I always thought I was just a normal Vampire girl, or at least as normal as it gets. But when I turned 16, I found out I am only half vampire. My mom was a human, my dad was a Vamp. My dad ended up turning my mom when he found out she was pregnant with his child. My mom, dad and I kept it a secret for a long time. I don't know why we ever thought we could hide it, I don't know why we didn't run. The king had found out about me being hybrid, and he had my Dad killed for breeding with a human. A while after my father's death, my mom found the sorrow to much to bear, and killed herself. Since I was orphaned, the king decided to make me a pet. He decided to give me to a human pet store, so I might be sold".
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.
