If you were a vampire, you'd think you'd have awesome powers, right? You'd think that: I'd sparkle in the light, burn in sunlight, turn into a bat, have special powers, run fast, super strength, no reflection, drink blood, weak to garlic(Garlic, the original from Dracula is a FLOWER, look it up) and can only die by a wooden stake to the heart(other than sunlight). You're wrong. I, Peyton Brice, have none of those. Plus, a stake to the heart would kill anybody. I mean , come on. A friend of mine can teleport in a mass of shadows. I don't really have special powers. Nope. I'm just like you guys, but with sharper incisors. That's it. My story... Well, there is this syringe that they call 'The Solution'. It turns you into a dark being. It makes you evil. Why does it exist? A crazy guy came up with it. Some dude with the hunters. Yes, we have hunters. Anyways, that's how it all started. I had to give up a lot in my life. Being a vampire is awesome. I still drink blood sometimes. But not to kill. I would give my vampiric ways away in a heartbeat when it come to my love. But you can't save everybody. You just have to learn to suck it up.
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.
