First published 2009
Joie Sanders ventures into the remote Carpathian wilderness on what should be a routine cave exploration. Deep underground, she discovers something that defies explanation. Ancient forces stir in the darkness, and Joie finds herself caught between worlds she never knew existed. Traian Trigovise has waited centuries for the woman who can complete his soul. When he encounters Joie, he recognizes her as his lifemate, but their bond forms under deadly circumstances. Dark creatures hunt them through the mountain passages. Joie must accept a reality that challenges everything she believed about the world. Traian struggles to protect her while battling enemies that threaten both their lives. Their connection deepens as danger closes in around them. The cave system holds secrets that could destroy them both, but separation means certain death for Traian. Joie faces an impossible choice between her human life and a supernatural destiny she never sought. Their survival depends on trust, sacrifice, and embracing a love that transcends the boundaries between mortal and immortal worlds.
