Some things you can never go back to, because you let them slip through your fingers. There is no normal. That was the first lesson Ellie Fredricks learned when she followed her monster willingly into the shadows, prepared to do whatever it took to save her brother. Over her journey, Vincent taught her many things. He taught her how to love, how to fight. He taught her how to kill. Vincent gave her everything she needed to tear a hole into the place that kept him. She saved her brother from the tortures of Susan Bennet's Frankenstein-like experiment and dragged him blinking into the light of day. Or so she thought. There are always consequences. Unintended victims of the choices Ellie made.
Much as she hoped to chase the sunlight, to show Vincent he could live in the light, the shadows could not be escaped so easily. Keeping two steps ahead of the mercenaries of The Foundation and the FBI prove quite the challenge while Ellie and Vincent work to put down the monsters Ellie set loose. Each step they take only leads her deeper into the black.
