Leader of the gang called the Masquerade, Isaiah is a vicious, old, and controlling vampire. He governs the underground and has such far reaching power that no one leaves the city without his permission.

A former gang member, Remmis, has been a thorn in his side ever since they violently ran away from the gang, leaving Isaiah scarred and infuriated. The strong-willed serval shifter, Rem, has been impossible to catch until Isaiah enlists one of his newest Masquerade members, Serine.

The lovely, shy Serine is a psion with the ability to speak directly into the minds of others roaming the streets of Chicago. Rem’s mind catches her attention, and given no choice, she assists in their capture.

Rem and Serine slowly grow feelings for each other with Serine coming to terms that she wants out of the gang for good, but leaving the Masquerade—and the possessive Isaiah—is easier said than done.

Fleeing The Night

Rem and Serine were woken after only a few hours of sleep when the door to the tiny room opened and the twins, Shane and Leo, entered. The two vampires stepped over Serine, ignoring her gasp of surprise. Shane reached down and put one beefy hand around Rem's upper arm while Leo unlocked the shackle.


"What, no breakfast?" Rem asked, annoyed and still half asleep.


Shane growled, pulling Rem to their feet, and began dragging them out of the room.


"I-can I come with you?" Serine asked, climbing to her feet.


Leo shrugged. "If you want, but Isaiah wanted to talk to the cat in private."


"The cat has a name, doofus," Rem grunted.


"Don't think I will." Rem twisted in his grasp and sank their teeth into his arm.
