Mayline Relix (age 19) considered herself to be a product of bitter circumstances. Despite her continued half-life, she saw herself as nothing more than a monster ever since her humanity was ripped away from her. Having been a Raceling (a half-human and half-monster hybrid) Vampire and a refugee for five years, she thought that she had seen the worst that life had to offer. Even in the safe haven for Racelings, the Hide, she faced bigotry against her Race due to the ongoing war between the other six Races and the Raceling Vampires. She believed that blatant racism would be the worst of it.

But when she is dragged across the hot coals of Hell, forced to succumb to heinous experimentation, and put through grueling trials - she realizes just how good she has had it while her Sire ignored her. Now that he had come for her, she could feel his Call burning in her veins, beckoning her closer to the point of no return.

Will she be able to resist his smoldering pleas while she claws herself out from the pits of Hell, or will she succumb to the confusing feelings boiling in her very soul?
