Valerius isn't a popular Dark-Hunter-he's a Roman, which means that the
largely Greek Hunters have a major grudge against him and his
civilization for superceding them. To make things worse, he's very
conscious of his aristocratic background and breeding. So it serves him
right when he runs into Tabitha Devereaux. She's sassy, sexy, and
completely unwilling to take him seriously. (Not to mention that she's
the twin sister of the wife of former Dark-Hunter Kyrian-Val's mortal
enemy.) What Tabitha does take seriously is hunting and killing
vampires-and soon she and Val have to grapple with the deadliest of all
Daimons-one who's managed to come back from the dead, and one who holds
a serious grudge against both of them. To win against evil, Val will
have to loosen up, learn to trust, and put everything on the line to
protect a man he hates and a woman who drives him nuts.
