Publisher Marketing: The Varcolac warriors face their biggest challenge when one of the demented Topside Om Rau goes rogue and starts stealing Fey power, driving them all toward an Otherworld apocalypse. With a single act of unspeakable cruelty, half-demon Pandra Parthen permanently binds herself to Varcolac warrior Thomal Costache. Stuck together for life, the two enemies must find a way to live with what cannot be undone. As time apart from her ruthless father allows Pandra to uncover her true self, she tries to mend the breach with Thomal. But he is stalled in seething rage, troubled by an inner turmoil even deeper than the abuse he suffered at Pandra's hands. To free Thomal, Pandra makes a perilous sacrifice...and lands herself in the demon town of Otarat. Half-Rau Big Nyko Brun is the one man who has a slim hope of breaching Otarat. But Nyko took himself out of the hero business after failing the people he loves too many times. He even abandoned Faith Teague, the woman who was destined to be his mate. Left to fend for herself while her world crumbles around her, Faith also makes a sacrifice that traps her in the violent hell of Otarat. Now the fate of both women rests on Nyko's enormous shoulders, but he can't manage a rescue without Thomal's help...and then only if the proud Varcolac can somehow find room in his heart for his enemy. Content warning: not intended for gentle readers, this book contains profanity, violence, and intense adult situations. Contributor Bio:  Tappan, Tracy After earning a B. A. in Psychology and an M.
