Jin possesses a unique paranormal ability. Just by touching someone, she can insert a mental hook into their psyche and tie a string of her consciousness to it, thus creating a tether. That doesn’t make her a spy, though. Not unless her talent is discovered by those seeking to exploit it.

As Mey anxiously waits for her transition to begin and for Yamanu to test whether his godlike powers are gone, the clan sets out to solve two mysteries: Where is Jin, and is she there voluntarily? Where is Kalugal, and what is he up to?

As the only member of his clan with a godlike power over human minds, Yamanu has been shielding his people for centuries, but that power comes at a steep price. When Mey enters his life, he's faced with the most difficult choice. The safety of his clan or a future with his fated mate.

Kalugal watched the monitor, following the steps as the program ran through the lockdown protocol. Once the bunker was secure, he pulled his immortal captive's earpiece out of his pocket, put it in his ear, and tapped it to activate. "Everyone listening can move and talk now. Good night." "Wait! What have you done with Arwel?" Kalugal paused with his finger a fraction of an inch away from the device.

The threads of fate converge, mysteries unfold, and the clan’s future is forever altered in the least expected way.

When Andrew is forced to retire from active duty, he believes that all he has to look forward to is a boring desk job. His glory days in special ops are over. But as it turns out, his thrill ride has just begun. Andrew discovers not only that immortals exist and have been manipulating global affairs since antiquity, but that he and his sister are rare possessors of the immortal genes. Problem is, Andrew might be too old to attempt the activation process. But fate may force his hand.

Andrew and Nathalie's love flourishes, but the secrets they keep from each other taint their relationship with doubts and suspicions. In the meantime, Sebastian and his men are getting bolder, and the storm that's brewing will shift the balance of power in the millennia-old conflict between Annani's clan and its enemies.

Andrew's acclimation to his post-transition body isn't easy. His senses are sharper, he's bigger, stronger, and hungrier. Nathalie fears that the changes in the man she loves are more than physical. Measuring up to this new version of him is going to be a challenge. Carol and Robert are disillusioned with each other. They are not destined mates, and love is not on the horizon. When Robert's three months are up, he might be left with nothing to show for his sacrifice.

As a brilliant strategist and the only human entrusted with the secret of immortal's existence, Turner is both an asset and a liability to the clan. His request to attempt a transition into immortality, as an alternative to cancer treatments, cannot be denied without risking the clan’s exposure. On the other hand, approving it means risking his premature death. In both scenarios, the clan will lose a valuable ally. When the decision is left to the clan’s physician, Turner makes plans to manipulate her by taking advantage of her interest in him.

The winds of change blowing over the village demand hard choices. For better or worse, Kian’s decisions will alter the trajectory of the clan’s future, and he is not ready to take the plunge. But as Edna and Rufsur’s plight gains widespread support, his resistance slowly erodes.

Julian has known Ella is the one for him from the moment he saw her picture, but when he finally frees her from captivity, she seems indifferent to him. Could he have been mistaken? Ella’s rescue should’ve ended that chapter in her life, but it seems like the road back to normalcy has just begun and it’s full of obstacles. Strangely, the only one who seems to understand is Logan, who keeps popping up in her dreams. But then, he’s a figment of her imagination - or is he?

As Turner and Bridget’s relationship deepens, living together seems like the right move, but to make it work both need to make concessions. Bridget is realistic and keeps her expectations low. Turner could never be the true-love mate she yearns for, but other than his emotional limitations, he’s perfect in every way. Turner’s hard shell is starting to show cracks. He wants immortality, he wants to be part of the clan, and he wants Bridget, but he doesn’t want to cause her pain. His options are either abandon his quest for immortality and give her his few remaining decades.

Get ready for the heart-pounding conclusion to the story of Brundar and Calypso.

What would you do if you stopped aging? Eva runs. The ex-DEA agent doesn't know what caused her strange mutation, only that if discovered, she'll be dissected like a lab rat. What Eva doesn't know, though, is that she's a descendant of the gods, and that she is not alone. The man who rocked her world in one life-changing encounter over 30 years ago is an immortal as well. To keep his people's existence secret, Bhathian had been forced to turn his back on the only woman who ever captured his heart, but even though he thought she was human, he'd never forgotten and never stopped looking for her.

Would Kian decide that the benefits of trusting Lokan outweigh the risks? Would Lokan betray his father and brothers for the greater good of his people? Are Carol and Lokan truelove mates, or is one of them playing the other?

While trying to figure out a way around Logan's silencing compulsion, Ella concocts an ambitious plan. What if instead of trying to keep him out of her dreams, she could pretend to like him and lure him into a trap? Catching Navuh’s son would be a major boon for the clan, as well as for Ella. She will have her revenge, turning the tables on another scumbag out to get her.

Wonder’s journey continues in Dark Survivor Echoes of Love.

Her memory loss must have been catastrophic because almost nothing was familiar. The language was foreign to her, with only a few words bearing some similarity to the language she thought in. Still, a full moon cycle had passed since her awakening, and little by little she was gaining basic understanding of it—only a few words and phrases, but she was learning more each day.

The new ghost in Nathalie's head remembers who he was in life, providing Andrew and her with indisputable proof that he is real and not a figment of her imagination. Convinced that she is a Dormant, Andrew decides to go forward with his transition immediately after the rescue mission at the Doomers' HQ. Fearing for his life, Nathalie pleads with him to reconsider. She'd rather spend the rest of her mortal days with Andrew than risk what they have for the fickle promise of immortality.

Get ready for the exciting finale of Bridget and Turner's story!
