In post-WWII San Diego, Ben Prescott, an unhappily married lawyer,
begins an affair with Aly, a mysterious young woman whose beautiful
face hides a dark, dangerous core. When their relationship ends
badly, Aly begins a vicious campaign to destroy him and everything
he holds dear. Ben doesn't know it, but her actions will have
devastating impacts for decades to come. As Ben tries to salvage
what's left of his world, Aly aggressively pursues her dreams on
her own terms. Her depraved lust for revenge cannot be sated by
ruining Ben's life; Aly won't stop until generations of his
family-including Zack and Alex, the two sons he had with Aly-pay as
well. As she raises Ben's sons, even she has no idea that they may
be the catalysts for her downfall as well as for the redemption of
two families. Passion, regret, hate, love, and vengeance that
crisscross a continent for thirty years finally collide in a
serpentine showdown between a woman who would stop at nothing to
gain her desires and the men whose lives she has inexorably
altered. Those who survive will have to redefine a future that no
one could ever have foreseen.
DECADES HAVE PASSED since the bitter war of independence between
Ptolem and Osiron. Both planets have settled into a peaceful
coexistence, thanks in great part to the efforts of the Ptolemii
Triumvirii Pyke and his longtime spouse, Ambassador Prince
Vin-Chay. The men and their family have survived incredible
personal trials, including a vicious and unexpected attack from
long-dead enemies who had set in motion familial and social changes
for generations to come. Pyke and Vin-Chay have been linchpins in
building a stable, progressive new government for Ptolem, and are
living in tranquility and prosperity amongst their large
family.
They now find their lives and the very future of their worlds on
the precipice of total destruction from an enemy who has risen from
the ashes of failure and redefines any imaginable concept of evil.
Their last and most desperate battle against the satanic force that
relentlessly seeks the obliteration of the Chay family surpasses
any horror they have ever endured. They are brought to the edge of
madness in a conflagration of bloodthirsty hate, vengeance and
passion, an ultimate showdown between good and evil.
In the far-distant future, a long and brutal war of independence
between Ptolem and its colonial planet, Osiron, has ended. Their
civilizations are building a new future and are a still-fragile
alliance. Two former enemy warriors, the Ptolemii High Commander
Pyke and the Osiron Prince Vin-Chay, whose unexpected passion and
sacrifice were the cornerstones to the final peace, live in
serenity with their families.
Integral to both civilizations, the men have spent years helping
to socially and politically redefine their worlds. They are unaware
that hidden enemies-fueled by personal hatred and secret agendas
with a longtime thirst for power and revenge-have targeted them for
destruction. Their enemies conceived a devious, deadly plan that
has both personal and societal ramifications that will destroy the
fragile alliance and any hope for the future.
The evil that stalks these men and their loved ones has no
concept of the true strength and determination of these warriors
who will let nothing stand in the way of reclaiming their families
and ending the pernicious threat. The final showdown between good
and evil explodes in a fiery confrontation that will seal their
fates for millennia to come.
Decades before the bitter war of independence between Ptolem and
Osiron end, two royal brothers grow into manhood while on a path
intended to define the history of their family and their world.
Shayne and Sar-Chay, born to the most powerful Kindred on Osiron,
are groomed and indoctrinated in the ways of the Separatae, a
fiercely determined group that demands nothing less than
independence from their increasingly totalitarian motherworld,
Ptolem.
Despite their deep fraternity, mutual respect, and love, Shayne
and Sar-Chay are too different in spirit and goals to maintain a
tranquil relationship. As their differing concepts of love and
loyalty to the women in their lives pit them against one another,
the brothers battle in equally desperate desires to control the
lynchpin of their next generation, the warrior Vin-Chay. As the men
prepare for the deciding conflict to gain Osiron's independence,
they clash with one another in a relentless cornucopia of hate,
vengeance, passion, and unwavering determination.
The souls of three men precariously balance on the precipice of
obliteration as the final battle nears, and all three are forced to
make decisions that will either save them or destroy everything
they hold dear.
