Her beauty is spellbinding. Her hunger is insatiable. Her power is immortal.

Return with Maggie Shayne to the dark, erotic world of wings in the night . . .

A creature of the night, Sarafina revels in the glory of vengeance and rage. And she tries not to remember a time when she knew the meaning of love . . . before she was betrayed by the curse of her blood.

She plays for kicks, but never for keeps. Even when she spots William Stone at a local nightclub, she wants only to possess him long enough to satiate her deep, passionate hunger. His power and his strength excite her. But Will is much more than anything she could ever imagine.

He is a man of almost inhuman courage and defiance. He is as boldly alive as she is - yet he is mortal. And he is irresistble.

Her dark desires lead them both into a world where dangerous interlopers are playing deadly games with Immortals. And as she is pulled into a bizarre vortex of vampire hunters madness and duty to protect the tender heart of the young girl who holds the powerful legacy of The Chosen, both Sarafina and Will find themselves forced to confront a hunger more powerful than any other: love.
