The second Peter Octavian novel in the classic urban fantasy series- reissued in a brand-new package-by the award-winning author.

In the second book of The Shadow Saga, the Shadows have been exposed as living amongst us, and the ancient vampiric race now finds itself threatened by the most powerful demon of all: human prejudice. In a world where the good are no longer distinguishable from the bad and where Shadows are indeed the saints, a holy war is about to begin, pitting humans and vampires together against the dark forces of Hell. And as they fight for their survival in the face of a betrayal by one of their own, the Shadows begin to discover at last the astonishing, long-hidden truth of what they are. What they will learn about their mysterious origins is more extraordinary – and more explosive – than they could possibly have imagined.

Combine a Boston P.I., the Vatican, and vampires, and what do you have? A novel-and a series-that will appeal to fans of Jim Butcher, Charlaine Harris, and Dan Brown.

A Collection of Stories Built on the Strength of Love and Destruction. 'Loyalty from you becomes loyalty to you. Take the head, and everyone will respect. Follow the ghost and the ghost will lead you to death.' Randy Ridgefield, a teenage boy who becomes a young man, whom the shadow of darkness looms over, preparing him for a system we call the devil's training camp. Enticing him with what he shouldn't have and giving him what he wants. Granting him with all the keys to the devil's playground where his life into the darkness makes him Thee Ruthless MASAI. Money and greed take him to the very root of all evil. Showing him trust to never trust and to see not to see was his invitation to drugs, lust, women, guns, and control. He became the man to make and mold a woman without her knowing, making and keeping her controlled and just as nasty sexually as he is, would be his victory. Disliking her world and replacing it with his gave him everything he ever wanted from her and more. To corrupt this one woman's mind could be not only dangerous for him, but dangerous for everyone around. Showing him how deep one can love. How two souls are tied together and bonded as one. And how one soul can jump into another and carry out the mission through another, until the smallest light makes him a believer. We sacrifice what we don't understand, never understanding what we sacrificed.
