Several intruders attack Lannie Stewart on his
land near Descanso, New Mexico. One
stabs him, but that just infuriates the alpha wolf who retaliates. Realizing they lost, the adversaries
flee. Though his inner wolf demands
pursue and assault, Lannie knows there is time to learn who these thugs are and
why the confrontation.
Immediately after the altercation, Lannie abducts
twenty-four year old Holly Faulkes from her family who concealed her nature
from the Sentinels and their enemy the Atrum Core. She makes it clear she wants to return home,
but her two “babysitters” ignore her command as Lannie is in charge. He wants to protect Holly by bringing her
into the pack with his influential song, but to Lannie’s chagrin she refuses to
accept what she is. Attracted to each
other though neither embraces their feelings, they fall in love while an
unknown new foe plots against the Sentinels, and the Atrum Core lurks nearby.
The relationship between the leads brings freshness to the seventh
Sentinels romantic fantasy (see Lynx Destiny and Kodiak Chained) as both are
spirited, strong and stubborn. The
electrifying storyline lacks any closure to any of the complex subplots; thus
making this novel feel like a set-up drama to what looks like an awesome
climax.
