Vampires and shifters, enemies since the dawn of time, now coming together against a bigger threat.Coming home should be comforting and safe. But when you're Valentin, the only survivor of your coven's destruction, going back to your homeland is never easy. And when you're the owner of L'Immortel, one of the most powerful vampire artifacts in the world, it's downright impossible. Especially when the High Council and most of the vampire families would do anything to get their hands on the stone. And of course, being mated to a shifter isn't winning Valentin any points with neither of their kinds.For Shawn, being home with his mate should be the best time of his life. Except they must face the entire world and the stupid stone that could help them is nowhere to be found. To make matters worse, the house seems to hate him. How can he face the Council in these circumstances?With Valentin slipping more and more under the house's influence, can Shawn keep his mate alive until the very end?
