When he learned of his father's death, Gareth returns home to the Highlands seeking revenge against the killer. However, he and his companions are attacked by a marauding army. Knowing he will die without enabling his father to rest peacefully, Gareth is shocked when he is saved by a beautiful female.

Roxanna has decided Gareth will be her blood feeder until he withers and dies as she is a vampire, albeit a very hungry one, who has just escaped from a bottled imprisonment. She knows she needs all her strength for her upcoming battle against her enemy, the evil vampire Lucian Kivar, who seeks the Chalice for some malevolent power grabbing use. However, to her shame she falls in love with Gareth, who bears the mark of this chalice on him that her odious foe wants. As Gareth returns her feelings of love, he and Roxanna team up to challenge the mightiest vampire of them all.

The third medieval paranormal romance (see THE DEVIL'S KNIGHT and MY DEMON'S KISS) is a delightful star-crossed lovers' tale, starring a courageous male human and a much more powerful female vampiress. The change in Roxanna from seeing her as a prisoner to falling in love with her soul mate is handled deftly, and given the time to evolve (reverse Stockholm syndrome aside). Readers will enjoy the latest thriller as good (the lead couple) battles superior evil (Lucian), with love being the secret weapon of choice.
