I thought I could trust the vampires around me.
But the lies seem endless.
 
I thought I could believe my family had my back.
But the secrets seem constant.
 
The demons from my past and the ones in my future will always shadow my life. Always there to remind me that I am not worthy of anything more than I am given.
 
But maybe there might be hope for me yet. It seems impossible, but all I have to do is protect those I love. If I don't, I'll have only my demons for company.
Forced to flee London, Roman struggles with what lies ahead of him. Permanently returning to his ancestral home was never on his agenda, not when the past lurks around every corner.
 
His father has goals, even though Roman wants no part of the plan. Determined to get his way, Lewis lays down a serious threat, leaving Roman to question his father's motives.
 
Backed into a corner, Roman can see everything collapsing around him. The demons are taking hold of him, whispering that it is only inevitable that he will be forced into a situation that is far from what he wants.
 
All Roman has to do is figure out what his father is up to, get those he loves to somewhere far away from his ancestral home, and defeat the demons in his mind. The plan for the future is set but there is just one problem that pops up, determined to make Roman suffer all over again.
