Transformed by his daemon lover, Shanklin Appledar stalks Earth hunting the Araurran he still loves-but must slay, or die himself. Daemons more powerful than any he's yet met, and their human servitors, hunt him, thinking he is the Araurran whose shape he now wears. And she is so hated and feared, that none of the hunters want her death to be anything like swift or gentle . . .
