My name is Nickolas Morgan, and I'm running from my past. A past I never wanted but was forced on me nonetheless. And it was all thanks to Analise's great grandmother Selene. I had fallen in love with her and in return, she had made me a vampire. And now my past was coming back to haunt me in the form of a 23 year old college student named Analise Hargreave.
I didn’t mean to fall for her. And I knew that what I wanted was wrong. She was human, and I a vampire. But one look at her and I was hooked. I had fallen for her fast. But even what I felt for her would not save her from my past that simply wanted to eat her up alive. My past is full of sins. It is full of death, and betrayal. I never wanted Ana to be caught up in all of that. I wanted to keep her safe. She would have been safe had she not met me.
But I loved her deeply, and I knew that she loved me too. But with my skeletons, I knew that someday soon, I would become the hunted, and not the hunter anymore. Ana just happened to be apart of that. And the rest is history.
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.
