Preoccupied with a mysterious power he doesn't quite comprehend and the news that his fiancée is coming across the sea to meet him for the first time, Alexander finds the newcomer in court, Katerina, to be a nice diversion.

Reports have been circulating of prohibited rituals being conducted in the dead of night, unleashing an old magic long thought dormant and with it the Sprit EatersRoused by their desires for magic and blood, the Spirit Eaters will hunt anyone with power to the ends of the earth and slay anyone who stands in their way.
