Principiis Et Salvete

Lycidas, similar to the rest of the collection, has a unique ability. Possessing the ability to weaken his enemies through his mere presence, he has no intention of mating, let alone finding his beloved. The thought that he would kill his mate crushes any desire for love.

Adrasteia is the daughter of Marcus Brown, an elite civilian within vampyric society. She was born a vampyre, and she knew of this, but she has yet to undergo her transition. However, when her mother and father are murdered by seekers - vampyre hunters - she is left alone, scared, and in the midst of transitioning. Without a male to drink upon and someone to lead her through the difficult time, her transition will not be successful.
