Shadows of Forever 
The Annals of Forever

Nick D’Arcy is missing, and at any cost, psychiatrist Emma Caldwell–his lover–must find him.

Struggling to cope with specters of vampires, unfinished business from past lives, and encounters with strange immortal beings known as the Waking Ones, Emma is determined to follow every clue. The trail leads her and her friends halfway around the world and through a chain of bizarre murders and disappearances. Their hunt unearths sinister occult motives, triggering unexpected shifts in corporate and political intrigue, questionable involvement by secret societies, and calculated acts of espionage, possibly engineered by a master spy, known as Argus.

As lines between good and evil begin to blur, Emma must make a fateful decision. The Children of Darkness and the Children of Light–are they real? Finding Nick D’Arcy might depend on the answer to that question. It is an answer that can only be found in the Shadows of Forever.
