“I’ve been waiting for you, Nesilia,” he spoke in thick Breklian accent.
“You?” she spat.
“Me,” Kazimir said. “I so look forward to our eternity together.”
Nesilia growled in frustration. “If you’re here, then that damn thief is—“
“Gone,” Kazimir said. Then he snickered. “You will appreciate this. With His last bit of power in this plane, Iam plucked the thief away and brought him to the Gate of Light. No, Nesilia. Here, it is only we who are to be damned forever.”
“Iam… took… him?” she stammered. “Over me!”
“Of course, he did. You are damned.”
“No! I will find a way out, and Pantego will fall, I swear it. I’ll kill every last one of them, and then I’ll climb to the Gate of Light itself and stab Iam through His rotten heart!”
Kazimir circled her. “Then I have to ask you, Nesilia. Do you not wish for more?” He lifted her chin with his finger, showing a glimmer of his fangs.
“Yes, yes, upyr. I do. I will give you everything if we get out of here. A world of your own.”
He removed his finger, and her head sank.
Then he whispered, a hint of laughter in his tone. “Too bad. It’s you and me here, alone. For all eternity. Dead... but not buried.”

Audible number one best sellers Rhett C. Bruno and Jaime Castle return with a relentless sci-fi adventure that asks: What if?
The year is 1961. The Cold War is in full swing and the space race is on. Russia aims to send humanity to space. But what if space comes to humanity instead? Yuri Gagarin’s epic flight into space is disrupted when an alien Mothership jumps into orbit, causing a cosmic car crash that defies all odds.
Everything changes. The US and USSR must quickly put aside their differences. In exchange for the Earth’s help in the rebuilding of their Mothership, the mysterious aliens, the Vulbathi, offer promises of technology beyond humanity's wildest dreams. All the while, the world asks whether the Vulbathi are saviors or conquerors.
When an alien tech counterfeiter's mistake sets off a chain reaction, the fragile peace is threatened. Connor McCoy didn't mean to upset Earth's new intergalactic neighbors. He only wanted to make some cash.
Now, Connor is the only person who can stop the doomsday clock from striking midnight. That is if his estranged brother, an agent in the new Department of Alien Relations, doesn't stop him first.
