"My suspicions deepen in your presence; you excuse hostility, unwavering and fierce. Your language is sharp and brutal, yet your actions betray a tenderness beneath. Do you seek something from me? Support for your family, or perhaps a status within my estate? "
As I trembled, her hand caressed my cheek, lingering like an erotic whisper. "I desire you, your blood. If it is not limerence that binds us, then possess me. For I have dreamt of you every night as you slumbered in my palace, a haunting vision I cannot escape after I had met you"
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.
