Immortality isn't always as great as it's cut out to be.
Sure, there's the part where you can live forever, supposedly.. The perks of being a vampire.. The heightened senses, the extreme speed, the mind tricks.. And who could forget about the part where you don't have to worry about if you've knocked anyone up or not.
In the case of Joey Hartley, he doesn't have to even consider the possibility of the last perk happening, considering he's gay.
Turned in 1900, Joey has had over a century to learn how to hide his true self. The only person to know what he really is, is the vampire who turned him. The girl who forever stalks him no matter where he goes.
Moving to a new school is just part of Joey's routine, something he has to do every few years so nobody suspects a thing. Will he be able to keep sane with all the secrets buried inside of him or will he crack under the pressure of trying to be 'normal'? And what happens when his creator finally steps out of the shadows and involves herself in his personal life?
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.
