Ethan Hale is a vampire who has a mission. Together with his three brothers and a pair of free allies from the Vampire Coalition, he fights against the fallen, protecting people. Everything in his life is quite simple. If he has problems... he solves them. If the problem comes from the forces of evil, then... he destroys it. But the man's easy life is cut short when his unexpected mate calls out to him. Brianna Cole is weak, her vital energy fading. She believes that a rare form of leukemia is to blame. Since childhood, she knew that her illness did not arise without reason. She dies because she was not reunited with her mate, her vampire, and did not return his soul, which she had protected since birth. Ethan finds Brianna and realizes that he must either reunite with his soulmate or watch her die. He has been waiting for her for five hundred years and does not intend to retreat. But the girl is not used to being commanded, and does not agree to obey vampire ceremonies. The man will have to win a race against time to make Brianna stronger, and fight the Fallen who demand his beloved be given to them. He will have to suppress the male instincts within himself, eradicating dominance and the desire to conquer the girl. But Ethan is persistent and determined. He will do everything to take possession of his soul, connected with his destined mate, and cement their union... forever.
