Layla couldn't shake the uncomfortable feeling that someone was watching her. Heat formed in the middle of her spine and radiated outward, warming her entire back. She kept stacking and organizing her boss's mail and the papers scattered across his desk. A gold fountain pen slipped from her grasp, threatening to roll off the desk. She bent over the desk quickly, just in time to grab it in mid-air. 

The heat from her back licked up her neck and wrapped around her neck. Her breath caught in her throat and she gasped. She brought her hand up to where she felt the heat, standing quickly. She turned, scanning the room. She could've sworn there were eyes on her. 

She struggled to calm the gasps, her skin covered in goosebumps, and the heat moving to her center. She bit her bottom lip to stifle a whimper.

"What the hell is going on with me?"

Ray is low on time, luck, and hope; his only chance is an artifact that may not even exist. But upon meeting Landon, Ray is beginning to believe he might find all four. ***** Cambions are doomed to tragedy. They are weak, sickly creatures that rarely live to see their twentieth year. Ray refuses to resign himself to that fate. Upon learning of the Crimson Sheath-an artifact capable of preserving his life-Ray is prepared to fight, steal, and kill to get his hands on it. He is not prepared for Landon. Landon is an orphan with no memories of his parents, the only inheritance left to him a dagger, sleeping in a crimson sheath. Though he has no love of bloodshed and no use for a dagger, Landon isn't about to let Ray take his only link to his forgotten history, even if that means following the cambion past the edge of the world and into the shadow beyond.
