The vampire race has dominated every living creature may it be mortal or immortal.
They enslaved the 'lowly' humans, used them as blood providers and spared those who are able to pay for their freedom.
The other supernaturals, as expected, disapproved of being ruled by the vampires, specifically, King Lanciertos Rossetti.
However, their efforts fell in vain.
Due to various plans of dethroning him, King Lanciertos gave the species a warning by killing off their leaders.
Vaddea, the oldest witch, gave her life up to beget vengeance through a curse before the Vampire King gets to her.
"As gold as the sun on a dark, stary night. The sky will clap with a lighting and the stars would be falling for the Gods will rejoice at the arrival."
Before the curse sucks the life out of her frail body, something that she's aware of, a content smile graced her lips, the first one after the vampires' rule began.
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.
