But David carries a secret that refuses to sleep, the beast inside him is waking. Haunted by a violent past and tormented by growing werewolf cravings, he tries to outrun the monster within. Until the day he feels an unmistakable pull… towards her . An African queen unlike any other, mysterious, breathtaking, and bound to ancient powers older than legend.

As David becomes entangled in her world, he is thrust into a supernatural conspiracy threatening to tear the earth apart. Ancient prophecies stir. Enemies rise. A war between good and evil brews beneath the desert sands. She is his weakness— and also his salvation.
