Sandulf and Sulien share the same father, but that is where their similarity ends. Sulien Brandt is a proud and noble vampire who will do anything to further his ambition. Sandulf, on the other hand, is a half-breed, half-vampire, and half wolf-kin, his wolf-blood will be a matter for contention between them. The first time he shifts into a huge steel-grey wolf, he knows that his brother will never accept him for who he really is. Sandulf just wants to be left alone to lead his wolf-kin pack, living in the forest undisturbed as his kind has done for generations. When Sulien takes a wife, however, Sandulf is not only taken with the connection he seems to share with her, but the fact that she is wearing his mother's necklace, stolen from her grave!
Sulien's wife Selene finds herself plunged into a web of lies, deceit, and bloodshed as she finds herself caught in the grasp of her cruel and ambitious husband. Can she escape him to be with the one she truly loves, or will he destroy everything his brother cares about?
