A Psy/Changeling novel from the New York Times bestselling author of
Shards of Hope, Shield of Winter, and Heart of Obsidian...the alpha
author of paranormal romance (Booklist).
A ghost returns from a leopard changeling's past, making him question
everything--even his base animal instincts...
Clay Bennett is a powerful DarkRiver sentinel, but he grew up in the
slums with his human mother, never knowing his changeling father. As a
young boy without the bonds of Pack, he tried to stifle his animal
nature. He failed...and committed the most extreme act of violence,
killing a man and losing his best friend, Talin, in the bloody
aftermath. Everything good in him died the day he was told that she,
too, was dead.
Talin McKade barely survived a childhood drenched in bloodshed and
terror. Now a new nightmare is stalking her life--the street children
she works to protect are disappearing and turning up dead. Determined to
keep them safe, she unlocks the darkest secret in her heart and returns
to ask the help of the strongest man she knows...
Clay lost Talin once. He will not let her go again, his hunger to
possess her, a clawing need born of the leopard within. As they race to
save the innocent, Clay and Talin must face the violent truths of their
past...or lose everything that ever mattered.
