Legends said that in the dawn of time, Prometheus created two beings. First were the humans, and he gave them fire. Then he breathed life into the Viscerebus and gave them superhuman abilities, shapeshifting power and the need to consume human viscera. This pitted the two beings against each other. The Vis hunt for sustenance, the humans for survival. Then humans dominated the planet with their superior number and weapons of mass destruction. With two hundred fifty million Viscerebi against seven billion humans, the balance of power became disproportionate. To survive, the Viscerebi allowed their existence to fade into the annals of myths, legends, and folklore. And the humans stopped hunting for the beings they believed do not exist. For centuries, the Viscerebi lived hidden in plain sight among human societies.***Yuana and Roald were born to a privileged existence. Destiny gave them everything one could ask for in life. The one thing they wanted above all else was the only thing destiny denied them both - each other. She was Viscerebus. He was human. Their love could not thrive in secrecy, but her truth could kill. To tell him had fatal consequences, from her kind, or from her own hand. To keep the Veil of Secrecy would be to disappear from his life forever.Then fate upped the stakes - she found out she was more Viscerebus than most; he had more reason to hate her kind, and time was running out.
