"Phoebe Isidore, born into a middle-class family in Los Angeles, was one of those lonely girls who always wanted what she did not have. She allowed her desire to be beautiful, rich, and famous to consume her; she gave up her soul to Kurai Thanos, universal Contractor and mistress of this house, in exchange for fleeting beauty, evanescent fame, and transient riches. Phoebe shunned all those like who she had been before her binding agreement, failing to notice the angels of her own kind for the pulse of flashbulbs..." On the dais where I read aloud my judgment to an empty theater I find myself again, but this time there is a single spectator: Kurai Thanos, universal Contractor. She extends her hand. 
This time, though, the fangs are real.

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.
