Severely wounded after fighting strigoi, Tomas stumbles on a tent in the middle of nowhere. He falls unconscious only to wake to see his One staring down at him. The beautiful Julie Smith is terrified by the feelings of love meeting Tomas has generated, not to mention the strigoi that tried to take her-oh and Tomas sinking his fangs into her wrist and drinking her blood. She did what any sensible woman would do-she ran! Join Tomas, Michael, and Louisa as they search for Julie only to uncover more strigoi in one area than any Hunter thought possible!
