She is the very essence of his immortal life. He is her soul. Finn Qualtrough, a Cynn Cruor warrior, is on a mission to find leader of the Scatha Cruors, Dac Valerian. When he pursues three Scatha warriors who can lead him to Dac, he discovers a woman who awakens a desire within Quinn to claim her as his own. Eirene Spence is an insomniac and a computer genius. Her penchant for midnight walks in the park puts her life in danger when the Scatha Cruors find her. She is saved when a handsome stranger rescues her. His touch ignites a hunger inside her that only he can satisfy. By a twist of fate, Eirene's client is Dac Valerian. She can lead Finn--and the rest of the Cynn Cruors--to Dac's lair. Now Dac wants her dead. Finn must fulfill his mission while trying to keep Eirene alive. With Valerian after Eirene, nothing is certain, not even her place in Finn's life. There is a-growing war between the Cynn Cruors and the Scatha Cruors: two breeds of immortal warriors who carry human, vampire, and werewolf blood. The Cynn Cruors want to live in harmony with the human race. The Scatha Cruors wants to enslave them. It's time to start preparing for battle.
