The Race Wars waged on for a thousand years, nearing the annihilation of all three species before three powerful leaders, a witch, a vampire, and a human, realized that they were in a struggle that none could win. On Ethereal, nature had created a perfectly interdependent system; a balance of light and dark magic was required for a witch or a vampire to survive. Humans needed it too, for the magic that leaked through the pores of paranormals fed the flora and fauna and gave humanity their creative spark—their ingenuity. 

That world was in peril from an invading entity known as the Devourer. It ravaged worlds by siphoning off huge quantities of magic, drawing it from every source, people, animals, and plants until it was depleted, but that wasn’t the worst threat it posed. 

Its true name was Soul Thief, and it fed on souls. The soulless ones were zombie-like, ravenously grasping at anything that moved to fill the void, but there was usually nothing left in that world to fill it.

It had also released upon the world a new drug called Shifter, which had the potential to destroy the Peace Alliance and once again plunge the world into war.

Now a powerful witch, her vampire lover, and a godlike figure from another world must combine their forces to prevent Ethereal from falling to such a terrible fate.
