SummaryGabriel wakes deep within the ground, and the first
sensation he feels is an overwhelming hunger for blood. But
as he hunts the dark streets of Paris for prey, a voice
calls to him, soothing, calming, giving him the strength to
control his craving. Francesca Del Ponce is a healer, a
woman who radiates goodness as powerfully as the sun does
light. Though Garbriel knows she will be like hot silk in
his arms, though he knows the taste of her will be
addictive, he fears for her life and his soul if he takes
her. Then with one mind-shattering vow she gives herself--
I offer freely, without reservation, I offer my life for
yours as is my right--and with a firestorm of long-
forgotten feelings, he glimpses salvation.
