Centuries ago, Ravenna Mal was One of the Few, one among many sworn to protect the world from the night's creatures. Her upbringing was unforgiving; as a warrior, she could form no close relationships, and she could especially never fall in love.

A vampire called Nicolai challenged everything she knew, introducing her to worldly sins, worshipping her flesh with his hands and mouth, and worming into her heart before she realized how painful love could be…especially when ripped away.

In the present, Raven Rayne has a problem. A new vampire called Nicholas in town; one who speaks to her without saying a word, one who stirs long-dormant feelings she can't dismiss as dreams.

A chance spell reunites Raven with the past she never knew, and memories of Nicholas she couldn't have dreamed. And though he doesn't remember her, she knows she must do everything she can to remind him.
