In the last days of high summer in 12th century Ireland, with lightning striking blue in a black sky, the sorcerer stood on a high clif overlooking the raging sea...

Belting out his grief into the storm, Cain McKenna rails against the evil that has torn his twin brother from their family's embrace. Her name is Sabine. Existing for over a thousand years, she has lured countless men and women ot an immortal doom with her soul-stealing kiss. But now, this woman known as vampire will stop at nothing until she rules this world-and those beyond it.

Cain is no match for the dark siren. But his powers come from the Goddess Morrigan and it is through her that he will get his chance at vengeance. At Morrigan's charge, he must gather five others to form a ring of six. Himself- the sorcerer, a witch, the warrior, the scholar, the one of many forms and the one he has lost. And it is in this circle, hundreds of years in the future, where Cain will learn how strong his spirit-and his heart-have become.

The eternal battle between good and evil is about to become more than just a legend. In a strange world he does not understand, Cain must fight, not just the demons, but those who have been irreparably damaged by their evil reign. It is a world where nightmares are a cold reality and hope is a foriegn idea born of despair.
