The Terror Gaze: Book 2 of The Mortal Guard Series
71 parts Complete MatureReunited again.
Boris Downing is finally free from the clutches of Absalom and is taken to join the Mortal Guard alongside Tyler Finlay, Nicholas Flynn, Richard Seife, Pierce Tucker, and Leah Downing's coven of witches. They acclimate quite nicely, but the fear of Absalom's return never quite leaves anyone.
Then the consequences begin. Not only do Darkness Doors begin opening up in random places in Austin due to the witches being gone from the mortal realm, the Liar continues its murder spree in the residences of Mortal Guard members. For some unexplainable reason, Catastrophe Sect neglects to do anything . . .
Nick and Richard continue to explore their romantic relationship and grapple with their identities as Virtues while being put on perilous cases by The Mortal Guard in the hopes of unlocking their special weapons. Boris and Tyler find it difficult to stray from the dark path they had already been fated to go down. Not to mention, the prospect of either Nick or Boris eventually killing the other hangs over everyone's heads. An unexpected development occurs when their friend Adrian Laurentin's deepest secret comes to light and the entire group of animals will be tested because of it.
Beyond Prostasia, the malevolent fox, King, and his group of vampires, The Black Cross, work in the shadows, plotting something that will change the foundation of the world as everyone knows it. The leader of The Black Cross, Ivan, begins to uncover the murky depths of his devotion to King. Relentless, biting, and soaked in blood; the insanity only ramps up in the sequel to Static Reflections: The Terror Gaze!
How far can one animal's limits be stretched?
