Lord Jetre conquers a war-torn land, but struggles with his lust for the enemy and to hold on to his oath of celibacy. Jetre Arnaud rules Wood clan with an iron fist and an unflinching will, but he cherishes a secret dream to restore war-scorched Isla to a Republic. The end of Jets ten-year oath of celibacy draws near, and the proud Wood Elf struggles with the choice of mate he must make. As the oath has denied Jet sexual release, so has his life denied him affection. Jet pushes the loneliness down, satisfying himself with power. With clan skirmishes and assassinations escalating, the time is at hand to act decisively against the nearest enemiesEarth and Metal clans. Silver SanMartin, sister to the assassinated Lord of Metal clan, seeks vengeance against the vile coward who murdered her brother. An assassin by training, Silver makes a feigned attempt on the life of Jetre, hoping instead to enlist his help in vengeance on her brothers killer. Steeled for the possibility of death, she tracks Jetre on a cold night in her home city of Belanor. Jetre fights a growing interest in Silverhis oath of chastity about to end, her presence and beauty tempt him daily. He reads her thoughts, her heartthat she fights her lust for him, and he takes advantage. Jetre uses his forthcoming mating as an excuse to practice his fledgling erotic skills on Silver without breaking his oath. Only when the two relinquish their fears and admit their feelings for one another can Jetre find the real power to conquer Isla and accept love. Warning: contains graphic language, graphic sex, very mild violence
