Every step pounded in my ears, as I ran. Each step caused my heart to beat faster, harder. I knew they were gaining on me, yet my feet felt like lead, what had they done to me.
My chest burned as I screamed. Fire coursed through my veins causing me to stumble, and lose my footing. I came crashing down against the hard rocks, my hand twisting beneath me. I heard the sickening crunch as it broke, but numbness was soon flooding over my body. I’d barely escaped them; monsters in man’s body. Yet sadly now I would soon become one of them. My heart ached as it struggled to beat. I knew it would soon stop, but the fact that I knew didn’t seem to matter.
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.
