Every Carpathian male is attracted to a female, either human or Carpathian, who may be the light in his darkness and become his life partner. Without her, the man's inner beast gradually devours him until becoming a vampire is his only choice.
The first thing Gabriel experiences when he wakes up underground is an intense need for blood. But while he searches the dimly lit streets of Paris for prey, he hears a voice that comforts and soothes him, giving him the willpower to restrain his need.
Francesca Del Ponce is a healer, a person who exudes kindness with the same intensity as the sun. Gabriel knows the taste of her will be irresistible, even if he can only picture what she would feel like in his arms. And yet, he knows that if he gives in to his yearning, it will be for her life and his soul.
