Gregori Vailean is living the dream: A supportive-albeit-unorthodox family… A beautiful, brilliant, and brutal girlfriend… And, after graduating at the top of his class from the prestigious Stryker’s Academy, the life he’s worked his entire life for. So when he starts to catch glimpses of trouble beyond the veil of his perfect life—a mother who suffers in her sleep, a father who’s haunted by his past, and a wayward brother with a dangerous secret—Gregori knows that he has what it takes to save the day. What he doesn’t have, however, is a clue…

A single night, a single moment, changed everything; Xander Stryker changed everything. But the worse has yet to come… Because, like the world, Xander Stryker has been changed, as well, but nobody—not even his wife, Estella—can be certain if this is for better or for worse. With apocalyptic threats rising from both the human world and the mythos world, however, the only certainty is that Xander is one of the only people on the planet that stands a chance of facing what’s coming.

Driven by a need to depict her new subject in all the horror and splendor that she felt in her dream, she resorts to the unimaginable.
