Honor Christine Roberts is a living miracle. As a child dying of leukaemia she was cured by a medical research giant and now holds the key to survival. Now the Breeds must convince Liza Caine, daughter of a Navajo Nation Council Member to help find Honor. Stygian Black's mission is to use Liza to fulfil the prophesy left to him by his mother, a Cajun voodoo princess, to create a breed, a creature trained to kill, unfettered by human standards of behaviour. Liza and Stygian are brought together and it isn't long before their battle of wills becomes an irresistible passion.
