The sequel to the paranormal fantasy Sylvio: The Preternatural follows the story of Rachel, whose newfound abilities to control the Elemental Spirits thrust her to the center of an epic battle between good and evil. Sylvio: Past and Present also chronicles the fascinating backstory of Sylvio, a centuries-old vampire who has walked the earth since the time when Germanic Vandals vied for control of the Mediterranean against the mighty Roman Empire. Together with a small band of werewolves and vampires, Rachel and Sylvio confront the powers of evil-learning along the way that despite suffering inhuman cruelty, all beings are capable of choosing light over darkness.
