It is strange to fall in love at 13 years old, to declare yourself and to be rejected, you feel that your whole world is destroyed because you cannot be with the person you want so much, but it is also strange and crazy to think about not falling in love again just because of something fleeting and that changes your life from pink to black, and at 16 you mature a little more, listen and think things very well, apart from the fact that at some point your life can take a turn too strong as it is to be immortal, and have a family new in just 3 years, it is not something that happens in someone's normal life.
It may be part of puberty and adolescence to fall in love, but when you think about it, it is not so bad to suffer for someone who only made fun of you, made you feel like trash and have nothing in common.
Besides, it is incredible how it is that after almost 40 years of trying to find someone who died, or that you thought was missing, you get tired and not be able to continue, try to move on and inadvertently, find someone who really makes you happy and gives you desire to live life, just like Keyri.
Or having to hide your tastes, your way of being and your orientation only because of what society thinks of you, such as Gilbert.
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.
