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

As Serine counted the seconds, she looked carefully over the area, trying to see if any Hunters had noticed her exit from the back of the mansion. Afraid to cast her mind out after the outburst of rage, she held back that ability.


"Hey! Stay right there!" shouted a frustrated female voice.


Serine turned her head, instantly angry again, and simply said, "No."


The Hunter paused and her expression dropped into one of confusion. She turned and walked away, even saying into a walkie that the back was clear.
