Raven Whitney retreats to the Carpathian Mountains after helping police catch a serial killer with her psychic abilities. She seeks refuge from unwanted publicity in the remote peaks. Prince Mikhail Dubrinsky rules an ancient immortal race facing extinction. Each Carpathian male must find his destined life mate or risk becoming a vampire as inner darkness consumes him. Mikhail has nearly surrendered to centuries of loneliness when his mind connects with Raven's across the distance. Their psychic bond draws them together, but enemies hunt all Carpathians as vampires. These hunters work to accelerate the species' destruction. Raven must choose between her human world and joining Mikhail's supernatural realm. Their connection offers salvation for both, yet external threats and internal struggles test whether love can bridge two different worlds.
