Her mind wiped of all but her name, she is given to a Vimpyr by the name of Sorcal.

In his arms, she finds the answer to a question she didn't know she should ask. What happens when an Impure Vimpyr and an Impure Terran join forces to fight the new exotic weapons dealers? It is a tale written in flesh and blood.
