Episode 2
On the long journey to an unknown land, Maia must slake her unquenchable sexual desire, the avarus, with the life forces of men. Laden with the guilt of her sins, she will cling to her mother's righteous teachings while struggling to keep her unholy ghost sequestered and reveling in the divine pleasures of the flesh. In this new world, she can trust no one—not even her so-called father. But the fiery nephili king is the least of her problems. Death in the form of a six-winged ancient enemy has tracked her down.

On the last night of the triune, Maia must transcend her mortal soul to become the seductive concubus she was always meant to be.

But along with Maia's transformation comes greater perils and unspeakable tragedies. She will pay a steep price for her neophyte's judgment because even inside the shelter of the castle in Elysium, she is surrounded by enemies.

Episode 4
Six months till the blood moon, and the coterie is buzzing. Safe in the castle, yet vibrating with fury, Maia must learn how to fight like a proper concubus at the same time she must seek hidden knowledge of the millennia-old war, the Empyrean Prophecy, and her own existence. To escape her circumstances and prove she's not the oracle they believe her to be, she will push every boundary and challenge every supposition. Feasting on the mortal plane, she will find an unexpected treasure that could derail her schemes and risk the lives of everyone she's come to care about.
