Jonathan is tired. He’s tired of being alone, and feeling worn down from being just a friend after more than four centuries. Not that time is a problem for a vampire or that he isn’t loyal to his best friend, Roiolik Thasten, who also happens to be Jonathan’s King. Finally leading the vampire people once more, Roiolik decides to send Jonathan out to start putting his plans of peace between supernatural races. However, all Jonathan can think of lately is Silicy Brownstone, and just how close he can get before brushing up against a barrier as a friend.
Silicy wants more and yet is content in her life, although lately she has been thinking more and more of her life before she became a vampire. Itchy in her own skin and fighting her attraction to Jonathan Thorne, her boss, Silicy is torn between the lust she feels and the fear of that emotion in any form. Haunted, she moves along through the present and the past, trying to unravel both before she can move solidly into the future.
