Devlin Bane: Born a Paladin, he is a member of an
ancient band of warriors locked in a centuries-old war
against evil.
His destiny: To die over and over again to protect
mankind from the Others, only to be revived each time by
his mortal Handler.
But his fierce strength and courage cannot save him from
gradually becoming one of the monsters he was born to
destroy.
Dr. Laurel Young, who has spent years training to become a
Handler, must remain detached from her patients. But each
time she revives the darkly compelling Devlin Bane, he
claims a little more of her soul and incites in her desires
that grow wilder and wilder -- even as he inches closer to
losing his humanity. As the war against the Others grows
more desperate, Laurel and Devlin can't help but give in to
the fierce hunger that's sizzled between them for so long.
Now they'll face the ultimate battle together -- to save a
dark, passionate love that goes against every rule as they
join forces to fight an enemy who is closer than they ever
imagined....
