No one understands the human brain, especially someone struggling with conflicting signals. Nature pulls in one direction, and morality pulls in another. Add the emotional pressure of love, and any decision becomes more complicated or…easier.In every myth, there’s a modicum of truth …Derrick is one of the creatus, created beings who have lived on the earth for more than four thousand years. Many questions surround the origin of these sentient beings who are stronger than humans, eat differently, and live longer. But they were created just as we were, maybe even before us. It is from them we obtain our fairy tales--and our nightmares. They are the reason we believe in superheroes--and monsters. Because...they exist.In the past, they kept the human race safe from an anonymous distance. But now Derrick must come out of the darkness to save a woman he has no business loving, even if doing so may threaten his entire race.
