When her powerful father coerces her to take a job at a secret government facility, geneticist Alice Douglas is forced into assisting Cain, the vampire king, in creating a race of super-soldiers--werewolf vampire hybrids, which has already claimed many lives. When Cain realizes that Alice is actually one of the coveted gypsy healers--something she didn't know herself--he suspects her blood might be the key to bringing his plan to fruition. There's only one problem--a bond is forming between the pair. Before Alice can fully grasp her new supernatural reality, she is brutally attacked. Desperate to save her life, Cain turns Alice into a hybrid by giving her his blood. But her soul, one of pure goodness, cannot abide Cain's blood within her. Now it is fighting against itself, threatening to kill her if it cannot be stopped. Enter Perizada of the fae, the one charged with keeping all gypsy healers safe. Peri soon finds out that the key to saving Alice is her true mate, Maxim--a rogue werewolf on the other side of the world. Maxim will do anything to find and rescue his mate, but it won't be easy, especially since she's developed complicated feelings for her captor. Together, new allies must find a way to break Cain's blood-bond over Alice and prevent him from unleashing a force of abominations so powerful that no army could stand against them. Contains mature themes.
