We just wanted to warn you!-MAJOR SPOILER WARNING-Born before man recorded time I lived for thousands of years believing myself to be something Im not.Someone Im not.Lied to and betrayed by gods Daimons and Dark-Hunters Ive struggled to find my way in a world where Ive been cursed since the moment a vengeful goddess prematurely ripped me from my mother and planted me into the womb of an innocent woman who thought me her son.Trained as a slayer and predator Ive learned to fit in and stay low. To become a tool for evil. Until I was sent to kill the one woman I couldnt. My hesitation cost her her life.Or so I thought. In an act of betrayal that makes all the others pale in comparison Ive learned that things are not what they seem in this world and that my Phoebe still lives.Now I will have to travel into the very pits of Hades to try and save her even as everyone around me attempts to steal what little soul I have left. Theres only one person at my back and Im not sure I can trust her either for she was born of an enemy race. Yet sometimes the road to redemption is one that singes us to our very core. And if I fail to find the answers I need to save Phoebe more than just my wife will die.We will lose the world. Both human and Daimon. Urian of the House of Aricles
