The Marked Hosts

She should’ve let his soul get eaten. Contessa Torain’s job was simple. Talk humans out of blowing up her world because of a few rogue Brevia, soul-eaters. A moment of pure insanity leads her to save a child, Asamee Banks. The brat follows her home. He smells like her kind, only different. His existence creates a mystery it’s her responsibility to solve. The brat is an aggravation. All she wants is a quiet life. More Brevia attack the human world, feeding off the residents. Contessa, Cezon Draior- her childhood friend and husband-to-be-, Sarisha Torain- her half-sister- and four children escape to their homeland, Devortus, in another world. Devortus is empty. Contessa's family is missing. The Sencil, dragon-like guardians of the land- are dying. She only wants to find her family. The Sencil care only about getting another body.
