Dominic, of the Dragonseeker lineage--one of the most powerful of the
Carpathian lines--is desperate to go to the very heart of the enemy camp
and learn their plans. There's only one way to do so: ingest the
parasitic blood of a vampire. He knows that it is a mission from which
there is no return. With little time before the blood takes effect,
he'll get the information he needs, relay it to the leader of the
Carpathians, and go out fighting. There is no more honorable way to end
his life.
Solange Sangria is one of the last of the jaguar people, a royal
pureblood, a dying species that cannot recover from bad decisions made
over hundreds of years. She has long been alone, fighting to save the
remaining shapeshifters from the hands of Brodrick the Terrible: her own
father, who slaughtered her family and everyone she loved. Wounded and
weary, she plans one last battle, hoping to stop the man who has made an
alliance with the vampires, accepting that she will not come out alive.
They are two warriors who have lived their lives alone. Now, at the end
of their time, they find each other--an obstacle neither saw coming, and
which neither can hope to ignore.
