Kallikrates has done a lot since awakening. Freeing Remy from the snakes around him poised to attack. Rescued two cubs who would have ended up slaughtered like their parents. Even saved a struggling business that a talented designer owned. Not to mention more people all over the world from the terrorists he’s wiped out. It’s his methods though, that make people shiver and call him a monster. Still finding his way in this new world, a bigger world than when he’d gone to rest, he also has a lot of pain to work through. Centuries passing didn’t make the love he felt for someone now long dead disappear. Nor has the fight with his eldest brother, who he desperately wants to reconcile with… But have the centuries changed him too much? Is he any longer the man Kallikrates loved and looked up to? And is trying to fix an old hurt worth risking the family he’s building? He’s not sure, but he has to believe that it’s the right thing to do even as Christof tells him the same from beyond the grave.
