Feed on the dark, and it will feed on you.
It’s been months since Christopher and Elizabeth narrowly survived an attack from his vampire enemies, but things are far from perfect. Memories from before he became a vampire are resurfacing, pulling him into the past he once disowned. His feelings for Elizabeth are growing, getting harder to hide by the day. And when the unpredictable vampire known as the Shadow reappears, Christopher knows the Enchantress isn’t far behind.
Desperate to find a safe refuge and understand the changes that are happening to him, Christopher travels with Elizabeth and Father Stephen to an ancient German monastery that is intimately tied to his past. But the dark forest outside holds secrets of its own: secrets that Christopher sacrificed everything to forget.
In this gripping sequel to The Curse He Chose, Sister Allison Regina breaks new ground in the genre-bending In Aeternum trilogy, bridging the suspense of urban fantasy with the Christian drama of sin, grace, and redemption. Recommended for ages 14+
"Vampire novels are not known for inspiring teens to become Eucharistic ministers, attend Eucharistic adoration, or discern religious life. But the 'In Aeternum' series is different."

“Finally! The genuinely Catholic vampire novel so many of us have been waiting for. What a joy to sink my mental fangs into such a gripping, metaphysically satisfying read. Eagerly awaiting the second book.”

“As popular as vampire stories have become, few recall their deeply Catholic origins. The Curse He Chose puts a fresh spin on their familiar themes by integrating spiritual realities into an action-packed thrill ride of modern fantasy. This is a rare young-adult adventure that takes the faith seriously without losing any of its bite.”
— Fr. Cassidy Stinson, Pastor, Diocese of Richmond

—Amelia S., high school student
“God knew that I needed to read this book because truly, when I was reading it, it just was touching my heart in so many ways.”
—Carly P., college junior
"Thank you. This book helped me remember that my past is not something that should hinder me from going back to God."
