Mariah Moon didn't know she came from the original bloodline of witches. Her ancient family, born when time began, either nurtured the land and all species or served dark magic. Dormant for three generations, the power found a new way to thrive when Monet, the changeling, attempted to turn her into a vampire who could shape shift at any time. Mariah could change into a blackbird, wolf and cat at will. Monet and Micah, his surrogate son, tried to teach her the ways of all kindred, while Mariah Moon only wanted to be human again. Refusing to take human blood she craved, she ate animals for the blood she needed, while she searched for answers. The new changeling found herself caught between a small group of humans, who watched and hunted all kindred since time began. As purebred vampires and lycan gathered to kill a creature they could not understand or control, as well as kill the American Chapter of Hunters, the hunters warily formed a deep relationship with the changeling they hoped could hold onto her beating soul. With the aid of the hunters' dogs she naturally connected to, called Heaven's Lycan, Mariah fought the kindred she yearned to nest with, while her kindred tried to kill her. Mariah protected the hunters, while they dealt with their own human demons. Half the hunters wanted to kill her. The other half believed in and loved Mariah. As the battles reached climax, Mariah faced her conflicted need for human blood, her need for the hunters and her need for Monet, who was her kindred. The final battle between need, faith and love decided the hunters' and the kindreds' splintered future.
