Legend calls her Warden of the North. But her Darkborn brothers call her Ari. Sister. Witch.

Fiercest woman among men, Arless had the most tender heart but the sharpest tongue.

Before becoming Darkborn, Arless was a shieldmaiden—a warrior whose arrows never missed, whose wild heart was untamed, and she could spit and hunt alongside her “brothers.” Once reborn, Arless had keener eyes, quicker hands, and (not surprisingly) an even sharper tongue.

Sylas is methodic and broods, Thorne laughs and plays, Lucian keeps watch, but Arless is the most protective. She is their sister, the tether that holds the brotherhood together.

Sarcasm is her shield; loyalty, her weapon. And in a crumbling world on the brink of collapse, living a cursed existence, she means to embrace eternity.

We are monsters, and though we have tried to rid the world of ourselves, we cannot. Human blood is all we crave. It is what we need, what drives us beyond the point of control. Spilling blood, drinking blood, and, of course, sex.
