    I never imagined that an ancient evil would resurface, or that it would attack what means more to me than anything; my mate. Now my closest friends and I are tasked with spreading warning to other vampires in covens across the country, and recruiting as many as we can to fight alongside us. I’m responsible for the very existence of our kind, and the safety and well-being of my human fated love. Maddox - So there I was, minding my own damn business at work when I came face to face with evil incarnate. The thing runs me down and tries to eat me, and that’s not even the weirdest part of my night! In twelve hours, my eyes are opened to a world I didn’t even know existed; a world of Fate, forever, darkness, and danger, and I’m stuck right in the middle of it all. The strangest part? There’s nowhere else I’d rather be. **This M/M romance features my take on vampires and other paranormal beings. They share many (but not all) attributes of vampires found in other fictional works. This world is different from those found in my other paranormal series, and the vampires’ properties differ as well. This low angst book contains insta-love between fated mates, dark elements, steamy scenes and a dash of humor. The story is complete with no cliffhanger, but it does lead into the second book of the series.
