Eve of War
The vampire council was in an uproar. The information that Kace had shared about the hero army that was almost on their doorstep was simply unbelievable!

It was also a big rush he had taken jumping straight into the heart of their power. They felt as though they finally understood why he had been so confident before. If things did not go his way, he could have slipped off and left them to deal with it independently.
