****************************
After being kicked out of her last house, Ally Bradford stumbles upon an advert to become the fifth housemate to a group of teenagers who attend her college.
What she doesn't realise is that one of them is keeping a secret from her. A secret that will change the very essence of who she is and what she believes in if she finds out...
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.
