Sahvage has spent centuries keeping himself hidden from the world, content to remain presumed dead. The powerful MMA fighter wants nothing more than to stay buried in anonymity. But when Mae, a desperate civilian woman, pulls him into her fight against an ancient evil, his instincts to protect override his careful plans for concealment. Mae has lost everything that mattered to her. Her desperation drives her to attempt reversing a terrible tragedy, leading her into forbidden territory where humans should never venture. There she encounters the Brotherhood's newest threat and discovers an unexpected love with Sahvage. Yet their connection seems doomed from the start. Understanding their time together is limited, Mae and Sahvage join forces to combat the evil she accidentally released. The Brotherhood moves to reclaim one of their own while the ancient force threatens to destroy everyone in its path. Their battle becomes a race against time and overwhelming darkness.
