While the devastatingly seductive ex-vampire, Istvan Baka, is forced to relive his tragic life as human and confront his history as a vampire, a very pregnant Elora Laiken gets aid from an unlikely source—a New Forest wolf pack—when she's attacked by assassins from her dimension of origin. While their friends and mates mount respective searches and race to rescue them, these two friends and almost lovers, joined by a mystical bond, separated by distance, must simultaneously struggle alone through their own personal tortures in pain and darkness.
