Um escárnio saiu dos meus lábios antes que eu pudesse me conter. "O que você acabou de dizer?" perguntei, meu olhar movendo-se de um Alfa para o próximo. "Vocês querem que eu me mude para morar com vocês?" questionei para me certificar de que tinha ouvido corretamente. "Sim." Thatcher deu um passo mais perto, mas eu dei dois passos para trás, criando mais distância entre nós. "Nós queremos você," Logan declarou, seus olhos ardendo com intensa necessidade. "Sim," Julian se juntou. "Também vamos protegê-la; garantiremos que nenhum mal aconteça com você. Por favor, nos dê uma chance," eles imploraram. Eles estão falando sério? Isso é algum tipo de piada? Como ousam fazer tais exigências depois da forma como me machucaram e me humilharam na frente de todos? Não, não vou escutá-los; não vou cair em suas armadilhas uma segunda vez. Vou rejeitar o vínculo de companheiro entre nós e cortar qualquer conexão que possamos ter. Depois de tomar minha decisão, abri a boca e comecei a recitar as palavras que nunca imaginei que diria. "Eu, Linnea da Alcateia da Águia Branca, rejeito vocês..." Mas nunca tive a chance de terminar. Minha mente e corpo inesperadamente entraram em colapso, e me vi desmaiando. Antes que pudesse cair no chão, senti um par de braços fortes — não, não apenas um par, mas três pares — me segurando, impedindo imediatamente minha queda. *** Prólogo Devido à feiura de Linnea, ninguém queria se associar a ela; sua pele estava enrugada e ressecada, fazendo-a parecer uma avó moribunda de noventa anos. Mas ela era realmente feia? Desde os sete anos de idade, Linnea tomava um elixir destinado a impedi-la de envelhecer rapidamente, mas, em vez disso, o elixir fez exatamente o oposto do que deveria fazer. Ressecou-a e a fez parecer bastante feia. Quando Linnea descobriu a verdade por trás do elixir, confrontou sua mãe, que o havia dado a ela. Sua mãe chorou e pediu que ela continuasse tomando o elixir, alegando: "Essa é a única maneira de eu continuar casada com o Beta Benjamin; você não deve ofuscar a filha dele. Ele nos expulsará se você irritar a filha dele." Depois de descobrir a verdade, Linnea ficou amarga, e seu ódio pela filha do Beta Benjamin, Madison, cresceu. Linnea engoliu sua raiva e jurou deixar sua mãe assim que completasse dezoito anos. Seu aniversário de dezoito anos chegou, e Linnea se preparou para deixar a alcateia, mas, ao sair, descobriu o maior choque de sua vida. Seu companheiro predestinado era na verdade o amante de Madison — um dos Alfas trigêmeos. Linnea pensou que terminaria aí, mas experimentou um choque ainda maior quando percebeu que os dois trigêmeos restantes também eram seus parceiros. Como isso poderia ser? Como ela acabou com três parceiros? O que aconteceu?!

He tries to dig himself out but a series of phenomena occur and he finds himself trapped in an unknown place, a place where one can literally smell death through the air, a place that doesn’t allow any light to exist in its presence, a place that doesn’t allow life to flourish, a place of absolute darkness.

In a world where spirits walk among humans, their presence is a fact of life-and death. Most people can see them. The strongest can fight them. But only one person is completely blind to them.

The Sentinels-one of many exorcist factions-take him in, but their interest isn't out of kindness. To them, Ryo is an anomaly. A mistake. A threat. Thrust into a brutal war between spirit-hunting factions and entities far beyond human comprehension.
