The dead alchemist's experiment has worked. Alisa is no longer a vampire, but a frail and confused human. Not only that--she is pregnant. The baby grows in her at supernatural speed. As the stranger watches. The stranger from the past.

But what child will Alisa's seed produce?

A demon or an angel? Alisa does not know.

But the stranger does. He knows everything that ever was.

And he knows everything that is to be.
