Since the dawn of human civilization, two warring factions of near-immortals—the descendants of the gods of old—have been secretly shaping its destiny.

Kian's small clan champions progress, freedom, and peace, while their powerful enemy propagates ignorance, hate, and war. Leading the clandestine battle from his luxurious L.A. high-rise, Kian is surrounded by family, yet he feels alone.

Descending from a single goddess—the only one to survive the ancient cataclysm that wiped out the gods and most of their immortal offspring—clan members are forbidden to each other.

And as the only other known immortals are their hated enemies, Kian and his kin have long been resigned to a lonely existence of fleeting trysts with human partners.

That is, until Kian's sister Amanda—a researcher of paranormal abilities—makes a game-changing discovery: a mortal seeress who she believes is a dormant carrier of their genes.

Ever the realist, Kian is skeptical and refuses his sister's plea to attempt the Dormant's activation. But when his enemies learn of the highly coveted soothsayer's existence and attempt to grab her, he rushes her to the safety of his keep.

Inexorably drawn to Syssi's shy beauty, Kian is startled by feelings he had sworn off long ago. Tormented by past mistakes, he wrestles with his conscience as he is tempted to explore her budding interest in the spicy passions he favors.

When Syssi's paranormal foresight lands her a job at Dr. Amanda Dokani's neuroscience lab, it fails to predict not only that her boss is an immortal who would drag her into a secret, millennia-old battle over humanity's future, but also the professor's imposing brother who would alter her own.

Despite his better judgment, will Kian succumb to Syssi's irresistible pull? And will Syssi discover that the man igniting her startlingly dark desires is a nearly two-thousand-year-old immortal?
