Will she forgive him for his sins, or is their bond destined to fracture before it's even forged?

KORA

Everything changed when the vampires arrived.

I'm starving, alone in a dark cave, and grieving those who I lost.

But I'm not giving up just yet. I'm a fighter, a survivor. A little fear won't get in my way.

A vampire will, though. And he chooses the worst time to show himself.

Only he doesn't want blood... He wants something even more sacred. Something I'm not willing to give away.

ALDEON

I am dhampir, and I've been lost to the bloodlust like many of my people.

Yet I awaken from the haze, only to find myself in a strange world, drinking from even stranger beings.

When I catch her scent, everything changes. The Calling awakens deep within, and I know she is my mate. My fated.

But she is different. She is human, native to this land, and in dire trouble. A mysterious enemy leads a horde of maddened dhampirs straight to her dwelling, ready to drink her dry.

It is my duty to protect her. I'll fight to the death if I must.

And when the time is right, I will claim her as mine.
