In this deeply sensuous story of paranormal erotica-fantasy can become nightmare...

In the twilight between sleep and consciousness, a battle rages.

For some reason, she recognizes him and knows his purpose…and still welcomes him into her bed. But just as their passion threatens to consume him body and soul, a danger lurks, for Lyssa is the Key that has been prophesized to destroy his world…
