Everyone has something to fear. I fear going home. Over a century ago, I left my homeland and my people. I’ve never gone back. I’ve deprived myself of the community for a variety of reasons, both good and bad. I made the decision, regardless of the consequences, and never looked back. Now, I don’t have a choice and Raphael is coming along for the ride. Politics, revelations, mating, and responsibility all point to the inevitable. I need to make the long trip home... moreEveryone has something to fear. I fear going home. Over a century ago, I left my homeland and my people. I’ve never gone back.

I’m one of those legends. My name is Kaliya Sahni and fear will no longer hold me back. less

This fight has always been my destiny. In a previous life, I had run from it, and that choice was the death of me. That mistake went down in history, becoming a story that haunted my people for centuries. I won’t run this time. I’ve regrouped, collected my allies, and sheltered my people. Now, I go hunting. I can’t rest until my people are safe. I can’t stop until the ones we lost are avenged. Standing beside me, always, is Raphael, Warlord of the Cambions... moreThis fight has always been my destiny.
