Now a conflict is brewing - both in Xairn's soul, and aboard the Fathership where the twisted AllFather has hatched a new, malicious plot to bring his estranged son home. But that is nothing to the secret inside him - the forbidden desires coded into his very DNA itself, which urge him to commit unspeakable acts in order to sate his newly awakened hunger. A nightmare childhood and a cruel father have scarred Xairn's heart almost past the point of healing. But though Lauren thinks she knows him, there is more to the huge Scourge warrior than she comprehends. Abducted by the Scourge, she formed a connection with Xairn more meaningful than any other in his life.

Lauren Jakes is the long lost cousin Liv and Sophie never knew they had. Desires that he prayed would never manifest now rage through him and they are centered on one woman alone. But doing so has unleashed feelings in him Xairn would rather keep buried. On one hand, he has finally gained his freedom and cut the ties that bound him to his race and the sadistic male who is his father.

The son of the evil AllFather, Xairn, is filled with conflicting emotions. And the woman who must teach him how before it's too late. A warrior with a scarred heart who doesn't know how to love.
