Semira kills her, telling her that she knew of Alexia's treachery, and that she had acted precisely as Semira had planned. Alexia returns and informs Semira of the attack at the Nordic Coven. Selene deliberately slides herself under the now broken ice of the lake, telling herself that 'my time is done'.Īt the Eastern Coven, Semira drinks the blood taken from Selene. Marius demands to know Eve’s location, but Selene insists she does not know Alexia confirms this after tasting blood from her sword.

Selene engages Marius in single combat, but he is too powerful in werewolf form, and she is stabbed by Alexia. Selene and David fight alongside the Nordic vampires, who are led by Vidar's daughter Lena. Meanwhile, Alexia has told Marius, who is secretly her lover, that Selene is going to the Nordic Coven. At Var Dohr, the Nordic Coven stronghold, Elder Vidar reveals that David is the son of Grand Elder Amelia, and thus the legitimate heir to the Eastern Coven. The pair takes refuge at the Nordic Coven, pursued by Alexia, an Eastern Coven vampire dispatched by Semira. Thomas is killed, but David and Selene escape. Thomas and David attempt a rescue, but are attacked by Semira and Varga. With Selene in her custody, Semira begins draining her blood, which she intends to drink to steal her power. Semira has Varga, her ally and lover, poison Selene and slaughter the trainees, framing Selene for the atrocity. She asks Thomas to plead Selene's case before the full council the plea is successful and the council reluctantly agrees to a pardon in exchange for Selene's help. Semira, a council member of the Eastern Coven, tells Thomas she wants Selene to be granted clemency and to train the coven's neophyte Death Dealers. Both species are searching for Selene: the vampires seek justice for the death of Viktor, while the Lycans, led by Marius, intend to use her to locate Eve, whose blood holds the key to building an army of vampire-werewolf hybrids.

What follows is a tale of love, betrayal, redemption and healing set against the very rooted town of Benaras and the upbeat political environment of Delhi.The remaining vampire covens are on the verge of annihilation by the Lycans. His heart breaks and the rage that Kundan feels is inexplicable.

However, it instead shatters when Zoya tells him her true feelings. With Zoya back in Benaras, Kundan's world was filled with excitement as he was thinking of finally telling her how he felt. He carries his feelings all through college and his heart flippes when Zoya came back to his town. Love, they say, is a feeling that only grows stronger with time and Kundan's love for Zoya never diminished. Time passed by and Zoya moved to Delhi to study further. She doesn't take him seriously and brushes him off.

She was like a breath of fresh air to him who he would follow every day to the bazaar and back to her house till one day, he mustered the courage to speak to her and tell her his true feelings - his 13 year old heart, smitten by her simplicity. Quiet and beautiful with mischievous eyes, Zoya was the girl of his dreams. Benaras holds a special place in Kundan's heart, because not only did he grow up as a typical, god fearing, shiv bhakt-Pandit but also because it was the city that gave him Zoya. First love in anyone's life holds a special place especially if the memory is filled with the vibrant musings of the city that you grew up in.
