This inventive foray into the homoerotic world of humans and vampires is certain to stir the senses of those enthralled by the genre. This prequel to Sunset charts the rise of the Armistice, as Takeshi, Anaba, and Rory realize their supernatural destinies and embark upon a fantastical foray into a netherworld where vampires and vampire hunters war by night. It is the year 2015 in San Francisco, and three musicians of the band Nightfall are out celebrating the long-awaited triumph of their debut album. Their fates are forever changed when a sudden attack in a deserted alley propels them into a millennia-old battle that tries their allegiances and changes the very nature of their beings. After the attack, Takeshi, Anaba, and Rory are thrust unwillingly into a nightmarish world of metahuman predators as each has been chosen to play a pivotal role in this supernatural skirmish for global dominance. Takeshi is born to be the Wind of Earth, leader of the Sentinels, mystical soldiers in an endless war of extermination against the Nightwalkers who prey upon humanity. Anaba is transformed into the Wind of Fire, the strongest spellcaster of her generation. Rory wields the unparalleled psychic power of the Wind of Air, and who should have been their strongest ally, is taken by their enemies and forged into a weapon to bring them down. Can the three put aside their differences to defeat the bloodthirsty evil they face, or will their fledgling alliance be destroyed by the dark forces that have aligned against them? All the while, hidden longings and crises of conscience come together in a vampire tale of intrigue and romance certain to get your blood pumping and your heart racing.
