Inside Kalen's Castle

Kalen, the Immortal hero of The Awakening, was once a mentor and champion of the Etruscan people. With his original people extinct, Kalen had dedicated himself to saving the legacy of their descendants from the forces of death magic. When Christine arrives at Kalen's magically protected Scottish castle, she's stunned to find great works of art she thought were destroyed by madmen and terrorists are safe in Kalen's care.
