That is why she will be taken. The media called it a rampage of terror the recent murders. But fighting crime is why Artur Loginov joined Dirk & Steele.

For his similar talent Artur will be taken. Into the darkness Elena and Artur will be drawn into the clutches of evil. Cornered isolated caged they will fight for their very souls. But salvation awaits. It exists in a form least expected: a dream of a face a brush of a mind the hint of a kiss and finally at long last a shadow touch.
