Can the magic of desire defeat the powers of darkness? Forced by her half brother to use her dark gift of necromancy for profit, lovely Callista Hawthorne is determined to flee to her one chance for safety, her aunt in Scotland. With no hope of success unless she finds help on the long road north, she offers cursed shapechanger David St. Leger an irresistible bargain. David--one of the mysterious Imnada--stalks the night streets of Regency London as a large black wolf. Renounced by his own kind, he spends his desperate rage on thieves and murderers. While Callista's proposal will allow him to escape the terrible enchantment binding him, agreeing to her terms will force him into the treacherous world of the half-Fey Other, his clan's ancient foes. Drawn together by danger, David and Callista find passion in each other's arms. But can they forswear the centuries of enmity separating their two races, and find a love they dare not even imagine?
