Wulf is the loneliest, most doomed of all the Dark Hunters. Within five minutes of meeting him, any mortal not of his blood will forget him. Since only love can free a Dark Hunter, he has little hope of that happening. His only friends are fellow Dark Hunters, and his great many times over nephew whom he protects to the point of smothering. Then, he meets Cassandra, and falls for the beautiful woman, not knowing she is not mortal. She is a half Apolloite,a race he is sworn to kill. Most of them choose to turn Daimon, soul vampires, to sustain their life beyond their twenty seventh year. However, Cassie won't. Through a psychic connection, she and the Dark Hunter continue to meet, and somehow, she becomes pregnant. Though Cassie was already a target; a demi-goddess known as the Destroyer wants her dead, ending her bloodline and the world, now she is doubly so. Wulf must protect her, but with what feels like all the forces of Hell against him, it may be impossible. This is the most complex, emotionally moving of the Dark Hunter novels so far. The sacrifices and love that move the action from crisis to crisis are offset by deftly time humor, making for a very satisfying read. |
