As it turns out, they had been led to the ruin with the intend of being robbed and killed. Carolina saves herself by enticing the attackers, leaving Jack for dead in the jungle. With his last strength, he finds the gem again, takes it in his hand and passes out. When he wakes up days later, he is still hurting, but healing, though extremely sensitive to sunlight. On the nightly journey home, he discovers that he is no longer what he was, having an overwhelming hunger that food cannot satiate. With his new vampiric strength and abilities, he makes his way home, only to find her there. Once he feeds off her, she becomes unconditionally devoted to him, and his love for her rises back to the surface. She helps him back on his feet in this new way of living, but he cannot shake the idea that maybe she could truly love him again. The Nightfarer is a tale of a man deeply in love, though he wants that love to be returned of her own free will, while struggling with the knowledge of what she did to him. The book uses the oldest know stories of vampirism, when they lived off the taking of human essence, not blood. Love, loss, betrayal, and an endless journey to save his Carolina drive him to an ancient order of priests in the Russian mountains. Will he be able to save his Carolina, or does she not want to be saved?
