He lives in a world of darkness, but none is more powerful than that in his soul...

Maurice has always known one thing about himself.

He's really good at killing.

If there's a war, he's your man... or vampire.

He's a leader in the Rebel army, fighting to free the enslaved elves in his world.

But that's only one thing that Maurice has ever been good at during his many centuries.

Love.

After his heart is broken by the people who were supposed to love him most, he's found it hard to trust anyone again, and yet he's let his long-lost brother Ethan close.

But their loyalties are tested when Maurice realizes that his soulmate is a woman who will always be out of reach.

Meg is stunned when she finds out that Maurice is her soulmate, since there's a whole list of reasons they will never work...

1- She's dating Ethan.

2- Maurice is bloodthirsty in a way that has nothing to do with him being a vampire.

3- Most importantly, the feelings he stirs inside her fill her with fear... and desire.

In the end, the old saying is true. Destiny must be fulfilled.

But when Meg is given the option for freedom from her destiny, does she take it?

And at what cost?
