Description

Jessica has worked hard to rebuild her life after the disappearance of her husband, David, and the death of their first daughter, Kira, by his hand. But now, the nightmare seems only to have just begun, when Jessica discovers the shocking truth behind the legacy that her husband left to their second daughter, Fana...a legacy preordained a thousand years before her time and drenched in the powerful life blood that now courses through her veins. As Fana begins to exhibit unearthly powers, Jessica must face the fact that her daughter has become the target of those who will stop at nothing to exploit her power - and the unwitting touchstone in an ancient supernatural battle whose outcome may decide the fate of all humanity.
