Lawson and his brothers have escaped the underworld and are now living a desperate and dangerous life. They are pursued by the Hounds of Hell, from town to town, and have no place to call home. But finally, when the hounds catch up with them and take the girl Lawson loves, they begin the hunt. Lawson will not be stopped by the hounds, even if the chances of saving Tala are very small. His only hope lies in Bliss Llewellyn. Bliss has also lost some creatures and she will stop at nothing to get them back, even if it means joining forces with a brash, handsome guy who has the soul of a wolf.
