What would you do to keep yourself safe from persecution?
Cobalt Leventhorpe is faced with that question every few centuries. From friends to enemies, once they find out what he is, they never like him. And every time, it pains him to take such drastic measures.
But meeting a new face in his latest home changes his perspective. The newcomer, a certain Paulina Monson, seems eager to know his secret. He does his best to keep her from it, but she finds out all the same.
His perfect hideaway comes crashing down when he discovers her family is no different from the rest of them. He must leave town, but he cannot slip by without Paulina's insistence to accompany him.
Fearing the worst and trusting no one, he's on the run again. Decades have taught him that his secret is his to bear, and not to be shared with anyone. Only a fool would depend on a human, yet his persistent companion makes him rethink everything he's ever known about them.
