- CHAPTER 1 -

The chair he had been leaning against the wall in crashed down with a loud thud that jarred the teeth in his head. Jack had to grab hold of the table to keep from toppling out of it. "What the…"

Torn from the memory of that distant time and place, he was briefly confused as he looked around the barroom he was sitting in now. William shot him a sly grin as he placed a tankard of dark ale before him, plopped into the chair on the other side of the table, and leaned forward so he could rest his arms on the table top. Jack blinked as he strained to clear his mind of the haunting past and focus on the man now sitting across from him.

"What were you thinking about?" William inquired. "You looked like you were in a completely different world."

"Nothing," he muttered as he drew his mug closer.

It had been almost a year since the war that had cost David his life and ended the brutality of his father's vampire domain. David was still a touchy subject with William, one that he didn't like to discuss as he still grappled to come to terms with his grief over losing his father. Truth be told, Jack didn't like to discuss it either.

Neither William nor Jack really had any interest in returning to the palace anytime soon. William's twin sister Aria lived within the palace with her husband Braith, who was now the new king. Jack's younger sister Melinda and her husband Ashby also resided within the palace. Though he knew that things were far different under Braith and Aria's regime than they had been under his father's, he was still in no rush to return to the place that held so many bad memories for him.

There had been a time, before the war when he'd returned to the palace in search of Aria, when he'd told his father he'd first met David in the woods. The lie had been uttered with an ease that his father actually would have been proud of if it had benefited him. Instead, Jack had told the lie because he hadn't wanted his father to know that the rebels actually moved in and out of some of the border towns with ease.

Jack glanced around the smoky tavern, so similar to the one he'd been in when he'd met David five years ago. It was easy to see how he had been drawn into the memories of that long ago day, and the man that had changed his life for the better. In David, Jack had discovered a man that though he was mortal, was far stronger than the powerful vampire king who had created him.

David was gone though, and now he was traveling with David's youngest son. The two of them had left the palace with the objective of bringing the outer villages into the fold, of bringing peace to the lawless lands that had tried to skirt around his father's rule for nearly a century, and so far, they had succeeded in many ways.
