As a Katagari Were-Hunter, a mutant blend of White Tiger and Snow Leopard, Wren Tigarian has known discrimination, rejection and hatred. He's never known love and affection. Alone in the world, Wren is hiding out in a New Orleans bar, The Sanctuary, a haven for all Hunters where rivalries and hatreds are put aside. All who enter The Sanctuary must adhere to the rules or suffer dire consequences.
It's in The Sanctuary that Wren meets Marguerite D'Aubert Goudeau, who's visiting the workplace of a friend, Nick, who passed away. Wren's attraction to her is instantaneous. Marguerite (Maggie) feels the pull to Wren and identifies him by description as Nick's friend.
Maggie lives in the glass-bowl world of politics where her father, a senator, dictates Maggie's life choices. She must never embarrass him at any time. Maggie hates the loneliness of her life.
Maggie and Wren want what they cannot have. They want each other, but Wren and Maggie are not marked to be together and he cannot choose a human. Wren is accused of killing his parents and is now hunted. He knows they'll stop at nothing to kill him, even if it means using Maggie to get to him. He'd give up his life first to protect her.
Sherrilyn Kenyon continues her Dark-Hunter series with another intriguing success. UNLEASH THE NIGHT depicts struggle and determination and a willingness to push the envelope so two souls can find love.
It's a predator eat predator world for the Were- Hunters. Danger haunts any given day. There is no one to trust. No one to love. Not if they want to live... An orphan with no clan that will claim him, Wren Tigarian grew to adulthood under the close scrutiny and mistrust of those around him. A forbidden blend of two animals—snow leopard and white tiger—Wren has never listened to anyone when there was something he wanted. Now he wants Marguerite. Marguerite D'Aubert Goudeau is the daughter of a prominent U.S. Senator who hates the socialite life she's forced to live. Like her mother before her, she has strong Cajun roots that her father doesn't understand. Still, she has no choice but to try and conform to a world where she feels like an outsider. But the world of rich and powerful humans is never to meet the world of the Were-Hunters who exist side by side with them, unseen, unknown, undetected. To break this law is to call down a wrath of the highest order. In order to have Marguerite, Wren must fight not just the humans who will never accept his animal nature, but the Were-Hunters who want him dead for endangering their world. It's a race against time and magic without boundary that could cost Marguerite and Wren not just their lives, but their very souls…
