I was just a reporter, trying to stay ahead of my student loans. I knew the rules, and I followed them.I thought I knew how the world worked—humans lived their petty little lives in the safety of the sun. We loved and fought and—when the sun sank—we scurried behind our walls and lived in fear. That is when the monsters came out to play.
And even in the safety of the sun, we knew who ruled us.
The Houses. And their Scions.
Everyone knows the great Houses and their Scions—they are feared and loved and hated and envied. They are the gods who walk the shadows and rule all of our lives. They are salvation and death.
And somehow, I am one of them.
You can read the Prequel to The Scion Legacy for FREE!
Twelve Houses. Twelve vampire lines. We ruled from the shadows, and manipulated the world, and when humans came too close to destruction, we intervened.
Every House has a Scion. A fragile, easily broken human that stood shoulder to shoulder with the house Princes and Princesses.
Except for ours. The Ravens, House Cantelie.
We’ve been without a Scion for almost fifteen years.
But that will change…and her life will be mine to protect.
Wow…O just blew me away with his note…

Farley,
You sent me away. I hated that. Hated you, a little. In the eons since I was Changed, I have never been banished by my Father or his Scion.
I watch you. My brothers say I’m becoming a stalker. I say we have always watched our prey. And I want you. More than I’ve ever wanted something, I want you.
I wonder sometimes, if you know just how cruel it was, to send me now. I tried to stay away. I knew what you wanted, and I kept my distance–but you are everywhere. The entire world knows about the new Scion, and everyone is curious what a human raised girl will do to the Houses.
They don’t know that you’ve already put your stamp on us. That your changing us–that you’ve changed me.
Politics aside–I miss you. Your bitchy attitude and the smirk when you’ve pissed me off, even the way you tease Sulla. I miss hearing your little whine when I’m teaching you something you don’t think is important and the way you get so damn excited when you figure something new out.
And I’m proud of you. The Houses are furious, scrambling to recover, and you’re moving through the storm you created like a damn princess.
I know you’ll be pissed–but I’m not leaving again, little bird. Protecting you is my duty and my privilege. And I understand it–the distance you demanded. But this is as far as I can go.
I’ll watch from a distance. A small distance. For now.
But I’m coming home soon.
Eternally yours,
O-
