Rosetta Blackmore has struggled throughout her existence to feel 'alive'.
The only time she really ever did, since being turned into a creature of the night, was with a young man that she did not even know the name of.
She did not think she would ever see him again, it had been over 160 years, when in school of her heritage, they meet again.
Maxwell Lawford was lost, wasting his life away, before she found him.
She revived him; gave him another chance at life, time to try again and again, then vanished never to be seen by him again.
Now 167 years later, whilst beginning a new chapter of his life, he will stumble across her.
But, as always, there will be some complications; things like the law, and society, that will try and keep them apart. For something as petty and inconsequential as titles like teacher and student.
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.
