This is a follow up book to The Darkness Therin.

This is the story of Mara a woman who had to suffer a brutal rape and almost 
death at the hands of an evil man named Edrik. The attack was so terrible that 
it scarred her both physically and mentally, and robbed most of her memory of 
the act itself other than the pain. Ever since the attack Mara has had 
terrible dreams, ones that she feels are products of her encroaching insanity. 

Mara takes a trip to Europe in the hopes of escaping her demons and saving what 
little sanity she has left. Mara has also traveled to Europe in the pursuit of 
knowledge, knowledge of those they call the undead, vampires, in the hopes of 
finding what is behind these horrible images she has been dreaming. 

What Mara finds in Europe is much more then she plans. She meets a man with 
whom she becomes close to very rapidly. Since the rape Mara has not been able 
to trust men but there is something different about Adam, he exudes and aura of 
trust. What Mara does not know is that Adam is one of those she has been 
seeking knowledge of. He is a vampire an Immaculate at that. Immaculates are 
vampires born of two hybrid vampire parents.

Adam too has demons from his past to overcome. Adam's parents died when he was 
young and he was given over to a priest to be raised, in order to keep him safe 
from those who would destroy him. Adam suffered severe mental and sometimes 
physical cruelty at the hands of this priest. The priest raised Adam to 
believe his life was an abomination to god. That Adam was on this earth for 
one purpose only and that is to destroy The First Father. Other then that Adam 
was pure evil and as such did not deserve to live much less anything else that 
normal people would have. Such as love, happiness, peace or self worth.

The First Father is an evil original vampire that is intent on taking over the 
world, and placing vampires in power as he feels they were meant. With the 
first father's power he just may well be able to do it. While the father 
sleeps all is well but when he wakes he leaves death wherever he goes. 
According to the prophecy Adam is the one to stop him. The saying goes there 
will be an Immaculate born that will kill the first father, and Adam fits all 
the criteria of the prophecy. There are many that would want to see The First 
Father succeed, but there are more that do not. Should he succeed it would be 
a terrible thing for human and vampire alike.

Maybe it is the fact that they both have demons to fight that make Mara and 
Adam get along so well. Or maybe it is the fact that Adam feels he should help 
Mara get over what the other vampire did to her. Whatever it is they seem to 
become closer all the time. What will happen once Mara finds out what Adam 
is? Will their relationship continue or will she turn away from him. This is 
a question Adam is afraid to find the answer too. This is just one of many to 
follow. Such as who are Adams real parents and why did they let such a 
terrible man raise him to believe he was evil? Why did no one tell Adam he had 
a twin? What happens when he meets the first father? Will any survive or will 
the Father win the order of the world as we know it, end?

Anyone that loved The Darkness Therein will love this. It's a great follow up 
to the first book.
