This was Tegan and Elise's story. Elise was a strong secondary character in the previous story. She is a widowed breedmate who has just watched her beloved son cut down as a snarling mindless Rogue vampire. Elise lives only for the revenge that burns in her to do what she can to destroy the evil that destroyed her happiness. 
 Tegan is one of the oldest Breed vampires and has trained himself to feel nothing since his beloved breedmate was sent back to him battered, abused, and turned into a mindless minion. His only source of contentment has come for his duty to fight and destroy the Rogues alongside his Breed Warrior brothers. Never again will he allow himself to feel pain. 
 Fortunately, or unfortunately as the case may be, these two end up feeling an attraction and are forced to work together as means to an end. They both have a shot at love and happiness, but will they take it? 
 In the mean time, Marek, the leader of the Rogues is on the hunt for a powerful weapon that will secure him his desire to reign over the world. Elise has unwittingly put herself as a barrier to his goal and he now seeks to destroy her along with the Breed Warriors that are already pitted against him. This part of the plot culminates in a breath stealing scene at the end. 
 Each story has been good in its own way and as different as the warriors and breedmates are different. This one did not disappoint. It too leaves things open at the end for the next installment to carry on with a hint of a new threat for the Breed Warriors to fight.
