I look down to see a ring made of wood.  The band is wide and stained a bright red. Down the center runs an intricate engraving of symbols that I don’t recognize but find beautiful in their strength.  I trace them with a fingertip.

In the world of the supernatural, a human has little hope of surviving ... except Zeiss. The sole survivor of a devastating vampire attack against a secret government agency dedicated to wiping supernatural threats out, Zeiss must use the powerful weapon they've developed to take the fight back to them.
