Beskrivelse
It is said that there are specific and mandatory conditions needed to make a relationship work. A couple, though thoroughly different in their individual behaviors, should share fundamental principles. It is imperative that they support each other through the best and the worst of times. And the third involves the most obvious, but the hardest condition of them all - sacrifice.
The nature of precognition made life different, if not all the more difficult for Rachel. Most humans go through life knowing that cause will lead to an effect.
It was perpetually difficult for her to ascertain the road leading to the effect, when her mind had already played out its multiple possibilities, literally. Her visions provided the destination, but not the means of getting there.
When she had first met Dylan in a café across the street from their University, she had a vision that he would one day kill her. But it did not stop her from falling in love with him. It was the sacrifice of the self towards the inevitable that had made their love work. Dylan ended up not killing her, as her visions had once predicted.
Rachel's repudiation by Alicia Selleck after the war was over had come as a shock to Dylan. He expected his mother to make Rachel a member of the Keepers of the Blades. To further compound the nasty shock, he was ordered to murder his girlfriend; out of fear that her powers may one day become too powerful for the vampires to control.
It led to Dylan sacrificing the life he had known, and a sense of blind loyalty towards his mother and clan. Choosing Rachel Davis over blood and tradition, they had run away from the Keepers of the Blades. Alicia Selleck was predictably angry, calling for a permanent end to both of them.
It was during the lovebird's escape that they sought after an old friend of Dylan's, Cindy, who was also a former member of the Keepers of the Blades. Through her, they had learned that it was not the enemy clans that had killed Rachel's ancestor. Shockingly enough, it was Alicia Selleck who had ordered Cindy to murder the Oracle after his assistance during the war.
With this knowledge, they had begun traveling to Great Yarmouth. During their ride to the airport, their bus was ambushed by three members of the Keepers of the Blade. What ensues is a war....a raging war with something lurking in the shadows!!!
