London, 1859. Rain glazes the ancient cobblestones as Simon, a man woven from shadow and memory, stands arrested on the street corner. Centuries of bleak searching culminate in a single pulse of time. Across the wet divide, he sees her—Elisabeta, resurrected in flesh and spirit. A warmth of recognition scorches through the chill of his undead core, warring violently with an instinct to vanish. He must be deliberate, exact. Not a hunter, but a lover in atonement. As the crowd thins, his dark, fathomless eyes find and lock with yours. The world ceases its turn. The hunt has ended; the long-awaited reunion now begins.
