<p>Death courts Astasiya Davenport at every turn.&nbsp;<br />
Dark fates lurk in the shadows of the night.&nbsp;<br />
And a prophecy looms unbidden on the horizon.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
With her future in shambles, she leans on Issac Wakefield for his love and support. They crave just one more moment together, one more night, until a massacre destroys everything in their path.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Will their relationship perish in the embers of destruction, or will love persevere?&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Kingdoms will fall.&nbsp;<br />
New powers will emerge.&nbsp;<br />
And a Seraphim will rise from the ashes of despair.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
An immortal war is on the horizon.&nbsp;<br />
Death will reign.&nbsp;<br />
The endgame begins now.&nbsp;<br />
<br />

The tension in his touch told her something was wrong, his shoulders locked above her.&nbsp;</p><p>She tasted it then--the familiar iron fluid on the tip of her tongue.&nbsp;</p><p><em>Blood</em>.&nbsp;</p><p>Her nails bit into his shoulders, her body frozen beneath him.&nbsp;</p><p><em>Oh God...</em>&nbsp;</p><p><em>Don&#39;t let it be mine.</em>&nbsp;</p><p><em>Please, f*ck, don&#39;t--</em>&nbsp;</p><p>'It&#39;s mine,' he gritted out. 'Just... I need a moment.'&nbsp;</p><p>The air rushed from her lungs, tears filling her eyes.&nbsp;<em>So close. Too close.&nbsp;</em>She shook, her soul ripping in half at the reality of what this could have meant.&nbsp;</p><p><em>I could lose him forever.</em></p>
