TAIREN SOUL
Now a thousand years later, a new threat calls him from the
Fading Lands, back into the world that had cost him so dearly.
Now an ancient, familiar evil is regaining its strength, and
a new voice beckons him—more compelling, more seductive,
more maddening than any before.
As the power of his most bitter enemy grows and ancient alliances
crumble, the wildness in his blood will not be denied. The tairen
must claim his truemate and embrace the destiny woven for him
in the mists of time.

“A spellbinding world…mesmerizing characters…the
best book I've read in years.” —Christine Feehan,

TAIREN SOUL
He had stepped from the sky to claim her like an enchanted prince
from the pages of a fairy tale, but behind the mesmerizing beauty
of his lavender eyes she saw the driving hunger of the beast
and an endless sorrow only she could heal.
Only for him would she embrace her frightening magic. Only with
him would she find the courage to confront the shadows that
haunted her soul. Only together could they defeat the terrifying
evil that had pursued her all her life.
No barrier could stand between truemates, not of the body, mind
or soul. For an epic battle was fast approaching, and only united
could they hope to triumph.
Coming November 2007, from Leisure Books.
