   Riley Austin believes life is predictable. That is, until she helps her friend, Tony, catch the kidnapper of three little boys. While using her sixth sense to find the missing kids, she and Tony are attacked and Riley is taken by Julian, a vampire, who wishes to use her gift for his own purposes.

      When he asks for her assistance, Riley discovers a kindred spirit in Julian. Moreover, she discovers that an insane, power-hungry vampire called Wilhelm is at the center of many disappearances. A bond grows between Julian and Riley and is strengthened when she saves his life. For her own protection, Julian returns her to the safety of the mortal realm.

     What Julian does not realize is that Riley was never going to remain safe...          


 After several moments of her groans, Detective Anthony Porretta attempted to stand her upright. “Riley? Can you hear me?”

“Dark energies. Dangerous. Drawing me in.”

“That’s it-” she heard him dialing his cellular phone, “I’m calling it in." 

Almost to the ground in reaction to what was happening to her, a feeling of danger overwhelmed her. Riley Austen opened her eyes and turned her head in time to see a black mass rush the officer.

“Tony, behind you!”

After she plunged to the concrete, she saw him spirited away into the darkness above her. His screams echoed from an unfathomable height.

Four shots fired. The muzzle blazed. Staccato sounds reverberated into the night.
