Three lives. Three souls. Three devastating experiences of crushing, emotional loss.
Injured and frightened, Diavian turns to the only person who can help. Kailah, upon seeing her progeny must make a choice.
When she lets Diavian into the house, her first instinct is to protect her, but soon the events of the night gone by force her to a stunning confession that changes everything between her and her sometime lover.
Michael returns to a cold, empty house and waits for the tears to come. Instead his resolve is hardened when he understands just how pointless his continued existence would be without Stephanie at his side. Dying would be a release, a welcome end to a mediocre life. But there is one thing he needs to do first.
***
Here concludes the first season of the multi-season story arc following Diavian Hatara, Kailah Turner and Michael Garran. Witness three souls search for the answer to a single, simple 'What does it mean to be simultaneously dead and alive?'
Ileandra Young is one face of the Da Shared Brain who writes erotica and romance under a second pseudonym. Ileandra enjoys writing fantasy (both urban and traditional) and aspires one day to write a piece so long (and therefore thick) that the book would form a good self-defence weapon in the hands of a fan (even been hit by War and Peace? It hurts!).
Her interests include reading large books (see above), roller derby, and gently correcting people who believe that vampires should sparkle.
Messed up and messy relationships are the best (storywise, of course). I love you but I hate you, I can't help caring for you even though I want to kill you - that's a powerful force and one that draws the reader to Ileandra's stories. This episode closes the season one by placing all the pieces on the board and promising the readers a lot of drama in the future.
