In a realm where technology and ancient magic intertwine, James Ward is no ordinary citizen; like all Mindlinks, he shares a symbiotic connection with the Mind Link Supercomputer, a bond that grants him access to unparalleled knowledge and abilities. His life takes an unexpected turn when he is chosen by the supercomputer itself for a mission of critical importance. Meanwhile, in the shadowed lands of the Everlinks, Afina, a half-demon, half-dark elf princess, renowned not for a dark past but for her defiance and strength, receives a prophecy from the Oracle Frangotta, guiding her to a destiny intertwined with James.

Brought together by fate, James and Afina are enlisted into Messorem, a secret organization of assassins charged with a daunting task: to thwart the efforts of those who wish to rekindle the ancient war between their peoples. Despite their vastly different worlds-James, with his technological prowess and serene understanding of the Mind Link, and Afina, with her formidable magical skills and royal heritage-they find common ground in their shared goal.

As partners, they navigate the challenges of their mission, leveraging James's strategic mind and Afina's combat skills. Their journey takes them across the land, from the high-tech sanctuaries of the Mind Link society to the mystical realms of the Everlinks, drawing them into a web of intrigue, power struggles, and emerging threats. Along the way, they encounter a cast of characters whose alliances and motives are as varied as the landscapes they traverse.

The true challenge for James and Afina lies not in the specter of their enemies but in their ability to forge unity between their contrasting worlds. As they delve deeper into their mission, they uncover secrets that test their loyalties and challenge their perceptions, realizing that the key to averting war lies not in destruction but in understanding and cooperation.

Nineteen year old Anna Preston appears to lead a life typical for a young woman in modern-day America. But she has a secret. For the past three years she's been seeing shadowy figures mingling with the populace. Made of smoke and vapor with a vaguely human form, they are not overtly threatening, but in the recesses of her mind there are whispers of nightmares long buried and forgotten. Jared is of a race created solely for the purpose of protecting humankind from demons, and for the first two centuries of life he was fully devoted to the service. Until the very ones he protected repaid him by destroying everything he ever loved. For decades Jared's hatred of humans was a living thing, but time has a way of dulling strong emotion and centuries later he is mostly indifferent. But when he learns a vial of his blood is being used in depraved activities, a long forgotten past comes hurdling back. ** Humans, Vampires, Faerians, and Shifters once banded together to fight their common enemy, but it has been many centuries since the demons presented a real threat to the world- and in these modern times most are oblivious to the danger lurking just beyond their perception and mankind has reduced both allies and enemies to fairy tales and boogie men. Signs are beginning to appear that allude to this threat rising in power once more, but with the alliances largely broken and those still continuing the fight few and far between, the human race is on the precipice of a grave danger that could threaten their very existence. And so it is of dire need for the allies to gather together once more. Ancient prophesies will soon begin to surface, one in particular that speaks of a unifying force initiated by the unlikeliest of beings...
