When the Moon Goddess and Hades have a bastard child conceived through the deceit of the underworld and its attempt to corrupt the Moon's pure Lyken bloodlines, the child is cursed in order to prevent further conception of his kind. Born with silver skin that no Lyken can ever touch, the child is destined to live isolated from love. Forced to keep the age-old tradition, the Moon Goddess still must create a mate for her child, despite the cruelty of it. She reaches her shiny white finger tips down into the depths of the black night and takes hold of Darkness. Striking a bargain, she takes a child of Darkness and molds a new breed of Lyken to match her silver son. Little did she know that Hades had one more trick up his sleeve. Rycus Moon and Hythen Hood have no idea their lives were never their own, and that their fates have already been dealt them.
