  <default_description>In the shadows of the night in Caldwell, New York, there&#8217;s a deadly war raging between vampires and their slayers. And there exists a secret band of brothers like no other&#8212;six vampire warriors, defenders of their race. Now, the cold heart of a cunning predator will be warmed against its will&#8230;

Ruthless and brilliant, Vishous, son of the Bloodletter possesses a destructive curse and a frightening ability to see the future. As a pretrans growing up in his father's war camp, he was tormented and abused. As a member of the Brotherhood, he has no interest in love or emotion, only the battle with the Lessening Society. But when a mortal injury puts him in the care of a human surgeon, Dr. Jane Whitcomb compels him to reveal his inner pain and taste true pleasure for the first time- until a destiny he didn't choose takes him into a future that cannot include her...</default_description>
