On the run once more, Nathan Jakobs barely escaped the clutches of the magical Inquisition at Stonehenge, saving both his mentor and his friend from execution. But freedom comes at a cost. A prophecy foretelling the end of the world has placed a deadly mark on his back. As the only true half-demon, he is the key-and every faction that fears or worships the prophecy is hunting him. The Inquisition, the Bloodmages, the Runemages, the Vampires, and the Demons all want him dead, or worse.Survival alone would be a near-impossible feat, but Nathan has more than just his life at stake. His vampire-turned love has vanished, and if he hopes to save her-or the unborn child she carries-he must find her before it's too late. Across Europe, a perilous chase unfolds, a battle against fate and ruthless pursuers that will shape the destiny of humanity forever.
