As a novice in the Temple of Luna, Avani is training for the day she'll become a revered priestess of the Savage Temple with the skills and magic needed to soothe the feral warriors fighting a brutal war against the world's remaining human colonies. Though forbidden contact with the warriors who have come to the temple for relief, Avani can't keep her distance from Rais, her uncle's protege and one of the most dangerous fighters the wolves have ever known.
As the royal heir, Rais is destined to take a mate and ascend the throne, but first he must complete his service as a warrior. The Temple's priestesses offer him relief in the meantime, though there's one he's vowed never to touch. He remembers Avani as the innocent girl she was when they met, but the intervening years have made her a woman. A woman the wolf burns to claim...As a novice in the Temple of Luna, Avani is training for the day she'll become a revered priestess of the Savage Temple with the skills and magic needed to soothe the feral warriors fighting a brutal war against the world's remaining human colonies.
