Neil Scott's exhausted from the stress of caring
for an alcoholic mother. He has just buried her after a
suicidal auto accident. He's also suffering from the
rejection of his girlfriend who resented the many hours
Neil devoted to his widowed mother. Neil would like to go
somewhere, lick his wounds, and live a life with no
responsibility. He's had enough to last him a lifetime.
And he knows just the place. A place of fascination and
mystery to him. A place his business partner claims to
have visited––a virtual reality game world
called Tolemac.
Ardra has dutifully done what was necessary when
the Fortress of Ravens was left without leadership upon
her father's death––she life–mated with
an elderly councilor. Now her life–mate, Tol, lies
dying. Once again, her fortress is in danger of being
claimed by anyone strong enough to take it. She fears for
her people, and as Tol slips into unconsciousness, he
tells her she must find an able warrior to stand at her
side. She immediately thinks of the mysterious and
alluring man who has appeared in her life. Is he the
warrior who will help her protect her people? Or will he,
like so many others in her life, walk away?
