A ruby red obsession... Rock bottom. Familiar with it? I'm living it. It's a high school expulsion and a dead end job. A future as a pathetic nobody. But you know what they say about rock bottom? There's nowhere to go but up. I've got an ace up my sleeve. Or rather...a ruby. Priceless. Magical. A wicked jewel that can raise the dead. There's only one problem. I don't have it... Yet. It's hidden in an old mansion by the sea. You know the kind. There's one in every small town. A house with an overgrown lawn and a grave or two. Locals whisper about the ruby's bloody history. Tales of murder, madness, and curses... But that's just a load of crap. Made up to scare off treasure hunters and tomb raiders. Right? Good thing I'm neither of the above. I'm just a girl trying to make ends meet. Every story needs a hero. Every hero sheds a little blood...

Imagine being the only person in the world. Alright, so she’s not the only person, but she certainly feels like it. She’s the only one of her kind in a world packed with humans which feels even lonelier than just being alone. She’s lived centuries moving in and out of the human world never being a part of it. It’s hard to be a part of something when you barely seem to age and when you do it’s over centuries. It’s better to keep your distance. Safer. Getting too close to anyone could expose who or rather what you are. And set you up for heartache when they ultimately die leaving you back where you started... alone. But what is she? If only she knew. The one thing she knows... she’s most certainly not human. She’s the most powerful thing on the planet. Vampires and shifters have nothing on her. She moves things with her mind with a whim, she’s incredibly strong, she heals quickly, and she fights extraordinarily well. She spends her days or rather nights fighting, usually vampires, because what else is there to do when you live outside the world. Killing vampires isn’t such a bad way to spend your time and it allows you to hit something. It’s lonely, but she knows that can’t change. She keeps to herself for sanity’s sake. But when he, a human, walks into her life... she knows her world is going to crumble.
