H Dean Fisher presents a narrative centered on survival against ancient malevolence. The story follows Salaen, a witch who fled her vampire captor, alongside her sister Ardra. Their flight is complicated by Ardra’s boyfriend, a Christian knight grappling with his faith after discovering his partner’s magical nature.
