Some scars never fade… In the quiet backwater town of Hawthorne, a series of chilling murders rock the community, each victim bearing the sinister trademark of a rogue vampire. Char, a former lawyer turned skilled private investigator, takes on the case at the request of a grieving spouse who seeks justice for his wife's untimely demise. Little does Char know that her pursuit of the truth will lead her down a treacherous path, dangerously close to a malevolent force she never expected. During a once in a lifetime photo shoot amidst the breathtaking landscapes of Ireland, Georgia Tyler's life takes an unexpected turn when she stumbles upon an occult bookstore tucked away in a cobblestone alley. Possessed by a cunning and relentless demon named Mara, Georgia finds herself caught in a web of darkness and deceit. Driven by a sinister agenda to claim three soul stones of immense power, Mara uses Georgia's body to pay an unwelcome visit to the dark fae who possess the Eye, a coveted artifact of destruction. Solcruth and Doirsain are stones of creation and amplification. They are held by Cole and Char, making the two witches targets in the unfolding chaos. Mara, fueled by a thirst for ultimate dominion, will stop at nothing, even spilling blood and extinguishing lives, to obtain these stones for her wicked purposes. To claim Solcruth, Mara curses Cole, setting a grim timeline in motion. When Cole meets his end, the demon will seize the stone, unleashing devastating consequences. Meanwhile, Char wields Doirsain, a stone capable of amplifying her own powers. But even that might not be enough to ensure victory over Mara's evil designs. Amidst encroaching darkness, Char discovers the shocking truth that her enigmatic mentor is none other than a two-thousand-year-old vampire, Brand, whose allure is as captivating as it is dangerous. Caught between her duty as an investigator and the tumultuous emotions stirred by this unexpected attraction, Char must safeguard her heart from a potential murderer while confronting the malevolent demon responsible for orchestrating these nightmarish events. As the body count rises and time slips away, Char must gather her wits, reforge old alliances, and race against the shadows to prevent Mara from claiming all three soul stones. Failure will unleash unimaginable havoc upon an unsuspecting world, dooming it to an eternity of darkness and despair. In this pulse-pounding fantasy thriller, Char's resilience will be tested, her loyalties pushed to the brink, and her heart teetering on the edge of danger. Can she rise above the encroaching darkness, protecting not only her own heart but also the lives of the innocent? The answers hang in the balance as Char's choices become the deciding factor in a battle between light and darkness, where the fate of three realms rest upon her shoulders.
