Candice feeds on death.  

She wants to feel bad about her parasitic nature as a Draqu.  Feasting on the life force of her prey.  Taking their vitality, their memories, their powers.  But she does not feel guilt.  Or shame.

She relishes her predatory nature.

Following the events of The New Players, Candice still brims with the power she siphoned from Hekati, the Unmaker Goddess.  She should feel ready for anything.

She does not.

Other Draqu prowl about the world.  Her mother.  Her sister.  Both with a history of tormenting the Burnhelt Family.  Killing. Torturing.  Her family despises Candice for aligning with their enemies.  For trying to balance the scales from the harm she inflicted in her old life.

And then there’s Ed.

She begged him to save her.  From what she did not know.  Possibly a vengeful Hekati.  Or Corsis.  Or her family.  Or herself.  And Ed promised he would save her.

That thrills Candice.  And scares her.

Because Ed brims over with life force, pulling much of it from his Tumult Flame hyper powers.

So very delectable.  So very tempting to feed upon.

Find out if Candice lets Ed save her in The Breakers.

Candice wants to leave her sins in the past.

Corsis won’t let her.

She is a parasitic life force entity called a Draqu.  She can siphon away all aspects of life from those upon whom she feeds.  Strength, powers, memories, consciousness, a victim’s very will. 

And she relished this power in her a century ago under her original name.  Mary Night.  She terrorized a megalopolis, stoking the simmering resentment of its many inhabitants.  It culminated in a citywide riot and murder spree.  And she was confronted by a quartet of champions of that era.  The Bucklers.

Mary did not survive the encounter.

But death is not permanent for a Draqu.  And Corsis hastened her respawning years sooner than it would have naturally occurred.  He ordered her appearance altered.  And threatened to send her back to her hellish between life torment unless she continued to work for him.

And he gave her a new name.

And so, Candice Quentra infiltrated the Demonic spies of the Horrinshal.  Started a working relationship with a certain fort master named Harry Mang.

A partnership that will certainly lead to her crossing paths with the Burnhelts and their allies.

All while she struggles to free herself.  Her time of torment in between lives changed her.  She wants to atone for crimes for which there is no atonement.

That will not stop her from trying.  Candice wants to be better.

She just needs the right opportunity.
