A slayer on the hunt For elite Order of the Stake slayer Lark, eliminating vampires is more than a duty. It's personal - a kill for every day her husband was held captive before his death. Staking her prey isn't a challenge until she confronts Domingos LaRoque. Mad with vengeance and the blood of a powerful phoenix, Domingos tests her skills...and seduces her soul. Once a talented musician, Domingos can't escape the constant music in his head...or his need to destroy the werewolf pack that tortured him. Yet as he and Lark become allies to defeat a mutual threat, loving the enemy may be the ultimate sacrifice.
