โฆ Synopsis
Journal entry: 10.18.2668 Iโm supposed to be leaving on the midnight transport. By the time it comes and they realize what Iโve done, God willing, Iโll be gone. I keep asking myself why Iโm doing this, but deep down I knowโฆ I know Iโm doing it for her. Itโs wrong to want a creature like Tatima, especially one under my guard. I canโt stop seeing her dark blue eyes or feeling the softness of her skin against mine. The moisture of her lips and tongue when I assuaged her hunger. Iโm a man. Iโm human. This outpost is lonely. Sheโs as beautiful to me as she is frightening. We trusted each other once. Maybe we could again. Wanting her could mean so much disaster, but I canโt stop. --- The United States has split. Supernatural creaturesโlab experiments gone wrongโare being rounded up so their existence can be contained. One young man, bent on revenge, takes a job as a prison guard in order to kill the blood-sucker who murdered his father. A creature who used to be human. Someone he once thought he loved. When Ronan gets close, he discovers the feelings he had for Tatima arenโt so long-dead as heโd believed. A web of lies surrounding his fatherโs death and the outpost where he works gets stickier the more he investigates. The further Ronan goes, the less anything makes sense. Except the woman who can still bring him to life with a single touch. The woman whoโs supposed to be his enemy.
