Daemiana is fleeing for her life while seeking a cure for her lycanthropy. But her distrust of men is undermining her plight. She has been marked for death by her own kind and by a vicious order of slayers - both cults led by males who have scarred her horribly. As she regroups and tries to settle into a new life in a new land, a feckless young man stumbles into her quest and essentially loves her at first sight. He is a harmless, wounded, bumbling fool who poses no threat to her and is seemingly what Daemiana thinks she needs. Still, she struggles to trust him or his ability to help her find the cure she seeks. It devolves into a toxic love/hate dynamic in which he tries to help her, but she knows she will only devour him. Yet, he surprisingly manages to survive nights with Daemiana when her dark side comes out, worse with each passing night. And when both cults close in on them, he viciously fights alongside her. Despite their complex and unlikely love, will he be man enough to survive his first full moon with her - as both cults mount their final attacks? Set in Alaska, this ambitious reinvention of the lycanthropy subgenre intertwines elements of gory horror, adventure, nature, fantasy, erotic romance, melodrama, and literary fiction.
