Due to tragic circumstances and a forced blood oath, they were never permitted the life together they both longed for. To save her children, Vora made the heart-breaking decision to be parted from them as well.

They learn they must face the horrific depleter and vampire-like being, Alvaldr, who has caused unimaginable torment for them and so many others. They gather an army of warriors to prepare for the battle with the depleters before they can escape to terrorize another realm. Even with their combined supernatural abilities, will anyone survive?

Inscribed in Latin, the ancient scroll known as The Prophecy has remained in the hands of a single family for generations, revealing secrets about the world to come, and guiding them to wealth and power... Three centuries have passed since Rome fell, as foretold by The Prophecy—which is now in the hands of a young girl who lives disguised as a boy among the monks on the isle of Lindisfarne.

But as time passes, memories dim—and the surviving member of the family struggles to understand his heritage before all knowledge of the future will be lost to the past…
