Rionon - hunter, warrior, he wanders the dark trails, guilt, sorrow and anger his lone companions. He has become a loner, a shadow who seeks the peace that can only be found in the darkest reaches of the forest. But when his peace is disturbed by humans and his past returns; vengeance and death clearly marked with his demise, he must choose a path and change a life he never knew existed.
Jayden LeFey has always trusted the wrong ones. Drawn to the bad boys, the downtrodden, she has a gift at finding promise in all their lying eyes. But Rionon's difference is savage and a dark beast dwells within him. So why isn't she afraid? Because all her life she's wanted nothing more than to belong - and something in Rionon feels like coming home.
