Some dynasties transcend time and space. Underneath urban Boston, an ancient Evil unleashes its dark legacy, feasting on human souls while it awaits the age of the prophecy. Darius Alexander, expert antiquities tracker, doesn't believe in the prophecies - until he helplessly watches his grandfather being carried away by demons. He tracks them back to their queen, but rescue plans change when an Egyptian statue comes to life and melts into his arms. Nothing is as important as saving his grandfather, but will this exotic goddess be a bargaining chip...or a secret weapon? True power finds immortality in the bloodline. Shaila a'k'Hemet, goddess of war and protection, awakens in a strange new world and breathes fresh air for the first time in over three thousand sun cycles. Her destiny is to protect the royal child of the prophecy, but she discovers the demon army is already growing. Her powers are weak- and the child is missing. Fate has dropped her into the arms of a human who has the skills to help her...but will he? Blood never lies.
