Tatijana of the Dragonseekers opens her eyes to freedom after spending centuries frozen in ice alongside her sister. An unknown descendant has broken her prison, releasing her into a modern world she has never experienced. She emerges in human form, eager to discover what lies beyond her tormented past, yet unprepared for the complexities that await her. Fenris Dalka returns to the Carpathian Mountains after years away, ostensibly to reunite with his brother. Battle scars mark his body and soul from countless victories won at great cost. His true reason for coming home carries deadly consequences if the wrong person learns of it. Upon arrival, a mysterious woman captivates him completely. She carries scents of earth, forest, and night itself. Tatijana and Fenris find themselves drawn together by forces beyond their understanding. Their shared secrets and haunted histories create unexpected bonds. Ancient predators threaten their newfound connection. Under the silver light of a full moon, passion ignites between them. Yet the same darkness that brings them together harbors evil forces determined to destroy what they have discovered in each other.
