Shades of Death

<p>Hunted as a human for his vibrant aura Daniel held all the lethal promise Narivous looks for in a Velore. His color was both bold and bright his potential limitless. He had the makings of one of the strongest undead Narivous has ever seen. </p><p>Until he's turned in a forbidden way. </p><p>Resurrected from a poison death he now has a toxic touch and a wail violent enough to eradicate all creatures within screaming distance. He is as his aura promised-dangerously powerful. </p><p>Almost too much so. </p><p>Thorn Narivous' tyrannical queen has outlawed the making of his clan for good reason-their powers are beyond her control. The toxin roiling beneath his flesh makes him a threat but worse yet Thorn sees Daniel as a symbol of rebellion. He represents more than disobedience he represents a rift in her realm. </p><p>And that places Daniel in a precarious position. Thorn will stop at nothing to restore her omnipresent image and there are only two ways to do that: break Daniel or destroy him. Daniel will soon be tested-become Thorn's monster or suffer death for a second and final time. </p>
