"A MUST READ. "--Keri Arthur Only one thing can wound a body of steel and melt a heart of ice... For fans of Laurel K. Hamilton and Shana Abe.... Walker, an earth shaman, has dedicated his life to the annihilation of the demon warriors who destroyed his desert tribe. As the lone survivor of the massacre, he atones by wreaking vengeance as a lethal mercenary. But his latest captive is a daring and new kind of challenge. She is the assassin Mehcredi, forced to work alongside Walker as penance for her crimes. Abandoned as a child, Mehcredi has no concept of human relationships, no reserve, no fears, and she boldly walks through Walker's barriers as if they were mist. Embarking on a journey of naked revenge--and pure ecstasy--they will discover pleasures once alien to them both. But in their shadow is the most powerful and reviled demon warrior of them all--the Necromancer. He's vowed to destroy Walker and Mehcredi once and forever, even if he must hold the entire world ransom to do it.
