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

Serine gasped as Rem spun around, grabbing her shoulders, and forced her down against the wall. She knelt behind a large stuffed boar, barely able to see what was happening.


"Stay here," Rem insisted. They glanced up as the Hunters began screaming and fire raged into the room. "Don't move."


Rem rolled away and Serine reached out a hand, trying to catch their sleeve, but missed. She leaned against the wall, looking through the boar's legs as her breath began to hitch in her chest. She watched as Rem began circling the room, low to the ground and partially hidden by the various tables and art pieces.
