First published 2011
Jacob enforces the laws that keep his people from pursuing humans, until he meets Isabella on a New York street. Dragon Gwenvael travels to the Northlands to broker an alliance with Dagmar Reinholdt, known as The Beast. Abby Barlow finds herself chosen as guardian of The Chalice after her employer dies, protected by the vampire Dante. Shapeshifter Vladlena goes undercover in a vampire-run establishment while hiding from violence. Kata escapes four centuries of vampire captivity only to find herself drawn to another bloodsucker in the underworld. Demon Kane knows human Corrine is meant for him, though their union is forbidden. Dragon Ghleanna must escort nobleman Bram through Sand Dragon territory while he attempts seduction.
