The Omniscients, ancient vampires who reside within the Hollow Earth, impose strict conduct for all vampires—guidelines Razvan and Bianca Torok, commanders of The Realm, have followed for centuries. When renegade vampires known as The Harvesters attack the survivors of a horrific explosion, The Realm comes to their defense. Failing to save the Crenshaws, the Toroks adopt their twin children, Celeste and Nick. When Nick’s rebellious ways place Celeste in danger, at the Toroks’ insistence, she seeks safety in the Midwest. As if the familial alienation isn’t enough, she’s tormented by her forbidden desire for Tristan, The Realm’s supreme warrior. With her future uncertain and her past shattered, she follows in her biological father’s footsteps and joins law enforcement. As the lead investigator on several bizarre child abduction cases, Celeste soon discovers that bullets and modern weaponry are useless against these abductors. A war brewing between The Realm and The Harvesters, Celeste joins Tristan, her parents, and all of The Realm’s warriors to destroy the renegade vampires once and for all. |
