Aragon, half-man/half-wolf and a member of the Shadowmen,
gives up his world for a half-existence and eventual death
to hunt the rogue Blood Hunter, Pathos. Pathos is evil
incarnate, frightening in his intensity and out to take
over the world. He's come to the Tennessee Mountains to
search for his son, Dr. Cinatas, who disappeared when the
medical clinic Sno-Med was blown up.
While searching for her sister, Stephanie, who used to work
at Sno-Med, Dr. Annette Bastista discovers a mysterious
amulet. Keeping the amulet with her, she unwittingly calls
the previous owner to her. When Aragon appears in Annette's
bath, brought there by the power of the amulet, it's hard
to tell who's more surprised by his appearance. They
quickly discover they have a common goal. Pathos is also
tied to Stephanie Bastista's disappearance.
Annette and Aragon, working along with their friends Jared
and Erin (from TOUCH A DARK WOLF), Sam, Emerald, Nick and
Emerald's pre-cognitive daughter, Meggie, gather
information from the burned out Sno-Med and discover where
Stephanie has been taken. In the process, Annette attracts
the attention of Pathos, who's determined to make her his
in a sick game of control. When they meet up in Belize to
rescue Stephanie, all hell breaks loose (literally) and
Logos, the power over all the Guardian Forces, intervenes
in the battle between Aragon and Pathos.
THE LURE OF THE WOLF by Jennifer St. Giles is a
fantastic follow-up to TOUCH A DARK WOLF, the first in The
Shadowmen series. This book goes more in depth about the
vastness of the evil permeating the world and sets the
scene for a heck of a battle in the future. St. Giles has
created a group of villains that are truly frightening in
their evilness and laid out clues to how deeply the evil
infiltrates the lives of the heroes and heroines in past
and future books. This is definitely a series to read in
order, and I look forward to the next book!
Mighty warriors sworn to protect humanity, the shape-
shifters known as The Shadowmen move between two worlds.
Now their dark leader has exiled himself from the spirit
world, opening the door to the forces of chaos...and to
the power of love.
Half wolf, half man, Aragon has
abandoned his brethren to repay a debt of honor; he is
sworn to kill a rogue Blood Hunter, though exacting revenge
will doom him to a ghostly existence trapped between two
worlds. But when a mortal woman unexpectedly calls him to
her side, the heat of her soft flesh arouses a hunger in
him that threatens to complicate his mission.
Dr.
Annette Batista, a dedicated healer, is determined to find
her missing sister. With the amulet found at the site of
her sister's disappearance, she unwittingly summons a
shadowy warrior. She wonders if she can trust this powerful
male named Aragon, who claims he can vanquish her sister's
captor -- the very monster he's vowed to destroy. Or is
Annette blinded by her shocking passion for the most
alluring, mysterious man she's ever seen?
