Dark Days

Vadis, even in his new form, could sense something coming. War. But the threat hadn't come from where he originally thought it would, rather it had come in the form of the greedy prince Tybalt and the slowly maddening King Erbus Scarletta.

But, when Aria sent Staciea Kur to Bu'gara, everything changed. Friends turned to enemies faster than the wind blows another direction. Things were righted but also jostled far out of place, and death fell upon them, from both sides.

In the midst of battle, Vadis must choose between two great loves, and in that struggle a new man is born. One burned at the edges in a black forest fire of hatred. Gone are the days of peace and honor, replaced by cold rage, rage so dark it drips corrosive acid into the hearts of those it touches. It froze Vadis's blood and turned his heart black.

Can Vadis turn away from his bloody path, or will it consume him, like vengeance has done to countless men and women before him? Has it consumed him already? What kind of king would he be if he didn't avenge one of the few people he simply couldn't live without? And perhaps the most important question, could he live with himself if he succeeds?
