La Belle Coeur knows what they call her: the Whore of Avalon. As the court seducer, it's her duty to break in recruits by sleeping with them - and to kill them if they turn out blood-mad. So when a new vampire murders a teenage werewolf - under orders, he claims - Belle feels it's up to her to protect the young man's sanity. As a Knight of the Round Table, Tristan isn't afraid of bloodshed. He killed his wife, Isolde, after an unforgivable betrayal. But in order to prevent a futile war with the wolves, he'll have to take a greater risk: trusting the beautiful Belle.
