For four thousand years, creatus elders have insisted that the creatus population concealed themselves from human beings because humans had hunted the creatus almost to extinction... But one woman's research reveals that when creatus first arrived on this planet, humans didn't fear the alien beings that looked so much like the human race. That is, until the creatus started to breed with humans, creating a ferocious killer feared by humans and creatus alike. A creature so fierce that its legacy of death and destruction has fed nightmares for millennia. And now, a new breed of creatus has been born—or rather, reborn. Vev, one of the first generations of creatus talis, finds herself torn between her younger family members and a forbidden love as she fights to save the young talis from being turned into a weapon—or worse, annihilation.

The ultimate battle starts now! For four thousand years, creatus have hidden their existence, believing their strength and diet would frighten humans into hunting them to extinction. But now a faction of militaristic creatus has a weapon, a breed of creatus so fierce that its legacy of death and destruction has fed nightmares for millennia. Unwilling to be a pawn, Vev moved her family so the youngest members won’t be a danger to humans or used by rogue creatus. But she’s lonely. Her heart belongs to a man who shattered it. As much as she wants to mend her heart and be with Arthur again, she must train the young creatus. Wanting to see Arthur and prove she can move on, Vev sneaks into town only to learn of the new threat. With the strange venom running through her blood, Vev alone has the power to stop the new breed—by creating an army of creatus capable of protecting humans from annihilation. But sometimes you can’t control what you create.
