Despite their pride and resentment, a powerful connection begins to spark between them. But with secrets from their pasts coming to light and a dark force threatening to consume them, they must decide whether to embrace their fated bond—or be torn apart by the very bloodlines that bind them.

"Mother," I said as I opened my eyes.   My throat was so dry that I couldn't even speak. Everything around me is a haze. I gazed at the candlelight. It was wobbling from side to side. I noticed a woman seated near me, but everything was fuzzy.   I heard a voice unexpectedly. It was a woman's voice. Her voice was echoing in my ears.   That woman was singing a low-toned lullaby.   "Mother, is it you, mother?" I asked softly. The sound abruptly ceased, and I heard my name, "Maxilin, I am here, son."   "Mother," I said with a tremble in my voice. I have no idea what's wrong with me.   I reached out cautiously to touch her, but she was out of my reach.   "Where are you, mother?" Maxilin asked. "Oh, my beloved son, try to hold me. Please come here." He heard the sound once more.   "Mother," Maxilin tried to stand up, but he was too weak. "Maxi, my son, Try to come here. Please follow me, " Maxi narrowed his eyes in an effort to see her face clearly, but he couldn't because everything was fuzzy. A woman in a white or blue outfit moved in front of his sight. Maxi took a few steps forward while still gripping the chair. "Mother, don't leave me," he murmured, dizzily.   "I am not, my child. Kindly accompany me." As soon as he heard it, he saw in his fuzzy vision that someone had opened the door. "Mother, please don't leave me," Maxilin pleaded. He let go of the chair's hold and dashed behind the woman. "Mother, don't leave me. Wait." In his frail state, he shouted and followed her. In the middle of his path, he came to a standstill. "Mother, you've left me here alone once again," he murmured.   "Maxi," he heard the woman's voice unexpectedly. Maxi glanced up and looked around. It's all clear now, but he's stuck in the middle of the woods. He gazed up at the sky. A giant moon was staring at him, and a horde of deadly, voracious creatures were roaring around him.   "Son," someone touched his shoulder, and as he looked around, he saw a terrifying creature standing in front of him.   That creature grinned and said, "Hello, dear."
