Abigail 'Abby' Martin was like most 20 year olds in college. She worked to keep up rent, she had a crazy best friend, and she was just passing her classes. It was an awkward yet fun time in her life, and Abby enjoyed every minute of it.
That is, until she is ambushed during a walk home from her job. Someone had attacked her, nearly beating her to death. Until he showed up.
Carter Marlowe was a rogue vampire on the run from the law. The vampire species was falling under the rule of the current ruler and he was intending to stop it. He just had to find the proper ruler. And he believes he found her.
Abby is thrown into a world that is completely new to her, bringing the myths and monsters that she learned were fake as a child, we're actually real. How was she supposed to survive when vampires were either trying to kill her or change her? How will she contain her feelings from the very dashing Carter? It was all so new to her, it wouldn't be a surprise if she went crazy from it all, but no one would blame her. She was only human.
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.
