The Host of Death

The time for secrets is over.

Naomi’s terrifying nightmares and dark premonitions can no longer be contained. As her dormant nature threatens to overwhelm her, Raurlin, Jackson, and Sarah watch with mounting dread, their carefully guarded secrets straining their fragile bonds to the breaking point.

Their deepening worry coincides with the arrival of the Record-Keepers—ancient vampires who chronicle every tragedy but refuse to fight one. Their descent sparks a wave of gruesome murders in town: victims are found surgically precise, with vital parts missing, stirring vague, terrifying memories in the oldest vampires. The killings hint at a perpetrator who is neither fully human nor fully immortal, forcing Raurlin to confront an evil more perverted than any creature of the night.

The rising darkness forces a devastating confrontation between the aeturnum bond. When Naomi uncovers the truth of the ancient blood curse that Raurlin and Jackson have been guarding, the revelation fractures the group, sending them on separate, dangerous paths. Raurlin and Jackson return to the wolf territories to face the past, while Naomi and Sarah seek answers in her distant hometown—the site of her parents’ original murder.

The split journey only strengthens the manipulative influence of the mysterious fox that haunts Naomi’s mind, a deceptive force that seems to be orchestrating events from beyond their world. Now, every lie, every sacrifice, and every forgotten history must converge.

With the power of the blood curse finally revealed, the four must reunite for a final, desperate battle in a realm that blurs reality. One wrong move, one hesitation, will not only drain Raurlin of his life but destroy the soul of his mate, plunging their world into eternal darkness.
