The wind howled fiercely as thunder bellowed from behind. My normally clear vision was blurry from raindrops that hurled themselves downward at me. My sister ran at my side, barely keeping up. Our pursuers were hot on our tails. There was no hope for us to escape. He was no more than fifty feet behind us and slowly gaining. If her were to catch us, we would be dead. No, when he catches us, we are dead. We are dead. We are surely dead.
Twin sisters, Scarlet and Elizabeth Davis, are escapees from an underground black market that deals with the breeding of type nine dhampirs. Type nine dhampirs are no ordinary half breeds. They have all the positive qualities of a vampire, yet are almost impossible to detect as a non-human.
Escaping, as one would expected, was not easy, but surviving in the outside world will be much harder. To survive, they must blend in, and what better place to blend in than a high school? How will these shy, fearful girls survive? Or, will they at all?
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.
