Julian Savage was a dangerous Carpathian who had spent century after century away from his people in order to protect his twin brother. He was a powerful hunter who learned how to do his job well which was to hunt and destroy vampires. His was a lonely existence though and he felt weary. He knew his future was bleak. The Carpathian species was dying out due to a lack of females. The males desperately needed a lifemate. If they didn’t find one, and most didn’t they were left to either give in to the mounting urge to become a vampire or end their existence by meeting the dawn.

Just as Julian decided he couldn’t take the bleakness of his world any longer he is given an assignment by the prince of his people. He is to find and protect a certain Carpathian female who is rumored to be the target of a society of human vampire slayers.

As Julian neared this female a need jumped in his heart. There came an excitement in his soul he’d never experienced before. Was it possible? After all of the gray centuries with no color, the struggle to hood onto emotion, to not become numb and void, and eventually loose his soul, could it be his lifemate? Only a handful of the males were blessed to find their lifemate, their other half.

Desari had lived a long time too and unlike many Carpathian females she had time to learn her own mind, a chance to grow and know who she was before being pressured into finding a mate. Too many females had mated young in order to ensure the continuation of their race. Desari enjoyed her career of singing and she controlled her own destiny thank you very much.
