Part of Dark, book 25
First published 2014
Skyler Daratrazanoff knows that Dimitri Tirunul holds half her soul. She is nineteen and human. He is ancient and Carpathian. The species gap seems impossible to bridge, yet their bond runs deeper than mortality itself. Dimitri has spent centuries hunting vampires to protect both his people and humanity. He has maintained his honor when others surrendered to darkness. Now the Lycans have marked him for death, leaving him isolated and fighting for survival. Skyler refuses to accept his fate. No one expects a teenage human girl to attempt such a dangerous mission. Her abilities remain untested, her experience limited. But she possesses something no trained warrior has. She was born to be Dimitri's other half, just as he was destined for her. The Lycans control the territory between them. Ancient laws forbid their union. Death waits at every turn. Skyler will face them all to reach the man who completes her soul.
