In Riders, the four horsemen of the Apocalypse worked with their seeker, Daryn, to prevent Samrael and his demons from the Kindred from taking over the world by opening a portal. Unfortunately, Sebastian, one of the horsemen, was dragged by Samuel through a dark dimension that Daryn opened and then sealed. Now eight months have passed, and Daryn has disappeared, plagued with the guilt of what happened to Sebastian and with the lost of her Sight.

Gideon, Marcus and Jod have been looking for Daryn since her disappearance after the epic confrontation with the Kindred. Working closely with a secret government entity, they hope to re-open the dimension and retrieve Sebastian from the clutches of Samrael. But Daryn is essential for their purpose and she must be found. Finally tracked to Wyoming the night that Daryn attempts to infiltrate the dimension by herself, the team reunites and develops a plan. An entire team of special forces will follow the three horsemen and Daryn in, retrieve Sebastian, and seal the dimension forever.

Unfortunately the plan goes awry. Some of the soldiers are killed, and many are wounded. Unable to successfully bring their mission to completion, the head of the operation cancels any other attempt. It is now up to Daryn, Gideon, and their friends to rescue Sebastian before it is too late.

Told in alternating chapters from Daryn and Gideon’s point of view, their attempts to bring Sebastian back is filled with tension and action. A page-turner, Seeker provides a satisfying conclusion to this duology.
