βI see a man. He is old. Very old. He will come into your life in a moment of danger. He will watch over you and protect you.β The gypsyβs hand gripped Tessaβs tighter. βHe will bring you death,β she whispered, her voice like the rustle of dry leaves. βAnd life.β
Ten years later, when Andrei Dinescu saves Tessa from a vicious attacker, she has no idea that the handsome stranger the fortune teller predicted is not a hunter but a seven-hundred-year-old vampire. Darkly powerful, unbelievably compelling, he is obviously pursuing Tessa, but is it her love heβs after or her blood?
