Power, passion, and politics collide in an Elemental World that is ruled by the ancients. Lucien Thrax, son of the earth and child of the ancients, is a healer of immense power. But years of work on a deadly vampire virus have not led to a cure, nor have they softened the wall he built around his heart. Dr. Makeda Abel may be human, but she's far from impressed with the brooding vampire physician, even if his mind draws her reluctant admiration. Working together may lead them to answers, but it also pushes Lucien and Makeda's attraction to the boiling point. When nightmares become reality, Makeda will have to trust Lucien with her life. Finding answers has never been more vital. Finding love has never been more deadly.
