For fourteen hundred years, I've walked this earth alone.I've become that which I despised long ago...Depraved. Desolate. Insatiable. And yet, one taste of her alters my fate. She's mine.My mate. My salvation. A witch of incomparable beauty.And she wants nothing to do with me. But I am not an honorable man.The mating fever won't be denied.I must claim her. Bend her to my will.Make her my bride for eternity...Or I will descend into the beckoning madness and destroy Avalon.
