Devlin Bane: Born a Paladin, he is a member of an ancient band of
warriors locked in a centuries-old war against evil.
His destiny: To die over and over again to protect mankind from the
Others, only to be revived each time by his mortal Handler.
But his fierce strength and courage cannot save him from gradually
becoming one of the monsters he was born to destroy.
Dr. Laurel Young, who has spent years training to become a Handler, must
remain detached from her patients. But each time she revives the darkly
compelling Devlin Bane, he claims a little more of her soul and incites
in her desires that grow wilder and wilder -- even as he inches closer
to losing his humanity. As the war against the Others grows more
desperate, Laurel and Devlin can't help but give in to the fierce hunger
that's sizzled between them for so long. Now they'll face the ultimate
battle together -- to save a dark, passionate love that goes against
every rule as they join forces to fight an enemy who is closer than they
ever imagined....
