The year is 2183 and two of the biggest MegaCorporations in history are about to merge. The MegaCorps OmniTech and BioDyne will be no more and the GigaCorporation OmniDyne will stand in their place. On a day which will make fortunes and break banks, on a day which will redefine relationships, redraw battle-lines, reshape markets and will be remembered for centuries to come, one of the most powerful players in OmniTech goes missing.
Harrison Webb disappears.
Was he kidnapped or did he walk away from his security?
Is he lying in some ditch somewhere or in the bed of some 10,000 credit a night escort.
Where he went and what he does may come to have a greater impact on the world than the ink on a dotted line.
This is what happened.

They tried to cut out my heart. But before I was a vampire, I was a witch. They couldn’t get rid of me that easily.

My name’s Mercy Brown-but don’t let my name fool you. I’m merciless.

It had been almost a century and a half since I last encountered anyone from the Order of the Morning Dawn. They were religious fundamentalists with the dual goal of eliminating vampires and witches.

Their first attempt to eliminate me failed. When they burned my heart they didn’t kill me. They unwittingly completed a spell that tied my existence to the soul of one who took my place in hell.

They hope to redeem the soul who was damned in my stead. If they do that, I’ll meet the true death for sure. I have to capture the one damned in my place before the Order manages to liberate him from perdition. If they free him, I will die.

I have to go to bloody hell.
