Rescued from the desert, Vulfrey resumes his journey westward toward Ashtilov, now accompanied by his trusty bodyguard Gajdren and the enigmatic brothel matron, Adrelynn. And, of course, Kaill…the foolhardy farmboy who’d barged into his life and risked his own time and again to protect him. The goal to find Archpriest Armundil that Vulfrey might finally fulfill his destiny as the Vessel—to complete the Ascension and return Vahndestrus to the world at long last.

Along the way, he begins to nurture his newly discovered gifts, learning to wield the power of his blood. While too the distraction of Kaill’s presence and the feelings buried deep inside continue to grow all the more difficult to ignore.
