Part of Dark, book 21
First published 2010
Dominic of the Dragonseeker Carpathians enters the heart of enemy territory on a mission that could cost him everything. Deep in dangerous lands, he operates alone, driven by purpose that has sustained him through centuries of existence. Solange Sangria belongs to the dwindling jaguar people, one of the few survivors of her kind. She wages a personal war against the man who destroyed her family and murdered everyone she cared about. Her father leads those who capture and abuse women with the ability to shift, and Solange dedicates herself to rescuing his victims. Both warriors have accepted solitary lives, believing their battles will end only in death. When their paths cross in this hostile territory, neither expects to find connection with another soul. Their meeting creates complications that challenge everything they thought they knew about their remaining time and their capacity for something beyond survival.
