How do you find your soul mate if you're born without a soul? Deva Rainsong is a chimera, a mixed breed of all four higher races, bred in a lab by the dragons' mortal enemy. She was meant to be a vessel to house the enemy's soul, but with the enemy dead in the recent war, Deva is left unclaimed - without a soul of her own and with a deep, cold longing for a love she doesn't think Fate will ever offer.

But when the six of them embark on a mission to uncover the secrets of a pack of rogue Fate hounds, Deva learns that Fate's reach is not boundless, and that she may have more...

There's trouble in paradise. All we had to do was make it through the weekend. It should've been a breeze. A tattoo convention in Cancún with Toni Valentine, the toughest and sexiest tattoo artist in the world? It was a dream come true. It was my chance to show her how I'd grown.

And I had plans for us to get even closer. But now my plans have changed. Now I've got to prove myself in a different way—by saving her from one of Mexico's most brutal cartels. I'd do anything for Toni, and that includes walking right into the belly of the beast. And I'm not coming back without her.
