Clément is a ghoul with a problem. He has fallen hard for Erin, a beautiful young woman who happens to be marked for death by the Japanese mob. The yakuza want her eliminated, but Clément wants her for himself. Armed with supernatural knowledge gleaned from a Haitian witch doctor, he sets out to save her life and claim her as his own. The chase takes him from the neon streets of Tokyo to the canals of Amsterdam and beyond to Malaysia. But rescuing the woman he desires proves more complicated than Clément anticipated. His plans collide with those of other dangerous players, both human and supernatural, in a conspiracy that spans continents. As Clément discovers, getting what you want and keeping it are two very different things. This is a story about obsession and possession, about the lengths one creature will go to for love, even when that love might destroy everything he hopes to protect.
