Lara was once a dominant ware turned vampire and now serves as Warlord for newly risen and powerful Vampire Gates. Of course, powerful individuals seek to eradicate them and go as far as experimentation and assassination.This book continues to tell the story of the Praetern and human struggle but centers around one of Alpha Mir’s previous guards. This has made the Praetern individuals and societies visible after millennia of hiding amongst humans. The Praetern Coalition seeks to get humans to acknowledge the other species, such as wares and vampires, as citizens with rights.
