Centuries of
loyalty

His code of
honor was respected without question, until he consumed the blood
of an enemy in exchange for a mortal woman to be set free from
certain slavery.

He can't
forget her

Despite
knowing, he will be imprisoned and put to death if caught, Balen, a
fierce Senses Tracker, returns to Toronto to find the mortal woman,
Danielle, he left behind two years ago. Haunted with memories of
the torture they endured in the hands of a Senses enemy, Balen's
determination to see her again, drives him to risk everything. But
when he does, a new enemy comes into play, one he can't defeat.

To conquer the
wrath of fear

Determined to
find some sort of peace after her abduction, Danielle finds solace
in painting a man from her nocturnal unconsciousness. When he comes
knocking on her door, her world is shattered and Danielle must face
her worst fears in order to survive what is coming after them. It
won't stop. It can't. For the ancient spell has no compassion.

A journey of
tenacious desire that refuses to fade even though that is what will
destroy them.

Because--in
order for Danielle to live, first she must die.

Book One of
the Senses

A band of
extraordinary warriors walk in the shadows of the human world with
capabilities derived from the senses: Trackers, Sounders, Healers,
Tasters, Visionaries and the rare Reflections. Collectively, they
are known as the 'Senses'.

‘
Only her
love can restore his trust—only with his trust can she win her
battle.’

Kilter, an
immortal Senses Visionary, excels at being rude and crass with
little hope of finding peace after being betrayed and tortured by
his brother more than a hundred years ago. Reckless and stubborn he
has alienated everyone—just the way he likes it. Until the day he
meets Rayne and emotions he buried long ago are reawakened.

Rayne suffers
from Anorexia Nervosa. Trapped by debilitating thoughts and a false
sense of control, Rayne is slowly dying. Her husband has kept her
secluded and alone for years, causing her to withdraw into an
emotionless shell. But Rayne’s outward behaviour is deceiving for
beneath her delicate existence is a woman with strength. The
trouble is—can she find that part of herself that has been driven
away? Or has her cruel husband broken her fragile existence?

The two
tortured souls are brought together only to be torn apart and
forced to relive their horrific pasts in order to find salvation.
But Rayne’s past has more significance than the Senses realize and
their enemies will do anything in order to get her back.

The Senses are
in for one hell of a fight as Waleron is forced to make the hardest
decision of his life—Damien is tortured beyond his emotional
capability by the witch Abigail—and Delara is drawn into a
vampire’s arms only to have him use her darkest secret against
her.

“
He’s
destroying me—us. I need him like my next breath, yet I’m
suffocating.”

An unrequited
love that has ripped her to pieces.

Delara has
loved Waleron for over a century. Their intense chemistry is
sensual, gripping, irresistible. But tragedy struck, and after
sixty-one years of believing he was dead, Waleron returns a
tortured man. He claims the man she loves is dead, yet the
undeniable sexual tension still pulls them together.

“I am no longer
the man you love, Maitagarri. I am incapable of it.”

Waleron has
given his oath to protect the Senses. He will sacrifice everything
for them. But there is one Senses he has vowed to protect more than
any other—Delara. He will do anything to make certain she is safe,
even if it means he must deny her the love they once shared.

She is the
hunted.

Delara’s life
is in jeopardy and Waleron will do anything to protect her. But he
never suspected that Xamien, the man he brings to help protect her
is way more important to her than he ever knew.

Torn between
two men and hunted by another, Delara must fight her hardest
battle—herself.
