In the land of Dökkálfar, intimacy between elf and human is punishable by death. This stark reality is driven home when Jalakin travels to Gatsle and meets his first human, Lecala.
And bites her.
Worse, he discovers the real purpose of his assigned research: finding a way to help the last fertile femaleLecalaget pregnant.
Jalakin overcomes his bloodlust in order to work closely with the human, but his yearning evolves into something stronger. When she begs him for one night of joy, he is unable to deny his desire. The single coupling accomplishes the fertilization his sisters artificial insemination project failed to achieve.
While Jalakin searches for a way to keep the babys parentage secret, Lecala barely survives an attack by an unknown assailant. Can Jalakin save his beloved from both the legal system and a faceless, murderous enemy?
