Many successful parents wish for their children to follow in their path, understandably so. Who wouldn't wish for their success to be generational, being meticulously crafted by lineage? Happy with any profession their children may choose, wishing only for their success.
But doctors are different. Why do they insist and persist where other parents would not? Undoubtedly, there is a nobility to the profession, and of course financial freedom. But, what if there were more to it than that?
Is there more to this than simply a parent's love? Is there more to this than a doctor's ego? What secret do they keep?
Kurt Ellend, a third-year med student at the University of Pennsylvania, never questioned his path. In the same way two plus two equals four, his father's omniscience was a matter of fact.
So imagine his surprise when the truth was revealed.
Had he spent his life chasing after nothing?
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.
