Her nightmares began with him... It is 2100, and the first Rare One since two hundred years is discovered in the city of Argonizeria in Zed. Scarlett Kelly couldn't have had a more perfect life. Living almost problem-free, she'd had no personal experience with pain or loss. Everything changes one night. All Seldoren wants is to keep his loved ones safe. He can't bear to relive the horror and pain of his past at the hands of the Trio, who are vampires, from the planet Van. Centuries ago, they forced him to be their slave and provide them human blood to take back to their planet. In particular, they seek the blood of a Rare One. Scarlett sees herself as a prisoner after she is kidnapped. When her kidnapper says he means her no harm, she assumes he is playing cruel and cunning games with her... but she slowly discovers that nothing is what it seems.
