Chasing Fate (The Dark Races)

Nearly a year has passed, and it's Elena's birthday. All has been quiet in the Realm, but as Witch Raevyn Thorn prepares to help celebrate her friend's birthday, a Vampire from her past shows up at her door. Out of the blue, a Werewolf, humans, and a strange Demon/Witch halfling make an appearance in the Dark District just before Luna's eagerly awaited Samhain festival, putting everyone on edge. Vampire Mateo Reyes only visit's Luna's Apothecary to seek out help for his still struggling progeny. He never expects the Witch he has been inexplicably attracted to, to be waiting to strike with a wooden stake. Frustrated by Raevyn's carelessness and lack of self preservation, Matt must take the Witch with him to Italy in order to protect her and help find their abducted friends. Their unexpected blood bond, along with Raevyn's newly emerging powers, leave them both chasing a fate they may not be destined to share.
