Jenna Darrow barely survives a brutal attack in Alaska's frozen wilderness. The former state trooper escapes with her life, but something has changed inside her. A strange new hunger grows within her, one she cannot understand or control. She travels to Boston seeking answers at the compound of the Order, an ancient brotherhood of vampire warriors who operate in secret. There she meets Brock, a dark-eyed alpha male whose touch can heal and comfort her wounded body and soul. As Jenna recovers under his care, she learns about the Order's war against a merciless enemy that commands an army of assassins bent on terrorizing Earth. Jenna and Brock forge a physical bond that deepens into something more powerful than either expected. Their desire burns fierce and forbidden, but Jenna's human mortality and secrets from Brock's past threaten to destroy what they have built together.
