3 teens with a connected past, 6 with a connected future
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Oryx, Usagy and Milo have had anything but a normal life
heck, they don't even know what normal is like!
and there's a reason for that
Catacomb Labs- run by Xavier and his second in command Tain. them and all the other lab workers ruined the three as young kids
Oryx was created there
Usagy was kidnapped
Milo was given up by his mother to them.
they were considered just test subjects that were supposed to be quiet and submissive, and were punished when they weren't
now, they've escaped and usagy and Oryx have found eachother and became friends, however they still don't have a normal life
they still have problems and now they've pulled Peirce, Loonah, Acantha and Star, their friends/lovers into the chaos
can they handle the lab still being after them, the mysteries, their own problems, and the pressure? or will it become too much and cause them to break?

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.
