The bad guys are winning. There are two types of shifters in the Rakshasa—the bad guys who want to destroy the world—and Light Ones—the good guys who want to protect it. Lily's one of the good guys, the last of her kind, the only one who can save their species. She's also a 170-year-old virgin who isn't in a hurry to get tied down. And then she meets Matteo, a Rakshasa who has been a prisoner of the Fates for a thousand years. They should be mortal enemies. She shouldn't strike up a friendship with the man. She certainly shouldn't develop feelings for him. And while we're listing don'ts, she definitely shouldn't give the man her most precious her innocence. Because otherwise who's going to save humanity?
