Carpathians are an immortal race of beings with animal instincts and the ability to shape shift. Every Carpathian male is drawn to a life mate: a woman - Carpathian or human - able to provide the light to his darkness. Without her, the beast within slowly consumes the man until turning into a vampire is the only option. Victory is the rarest of Carpathians - a female Carpathian. As such, she has been protected by her brothers for most of her life. But once she's freed the mage Razvan from his prison cave, she must run from her brothers, for Razvan is hunted by both the Carpathian hunters and vampires - believed to be enemies of both. But Victory senses that Razvan is more than what he appears to be, and is willing to go against the entire Carpathian race to help him. But will her belief cost both of them their lives?
