Publisher's Synopsis
No rest for the wicked. Peter is desperate to find Monica after discovering she is alive, but being held captive by Ian Carmichael's allies. Barely one day into his rescue efforts, the Fates recruit him for a mission that will span the globe, with an unlikely ally to guide him through the rest of his journey. He wants to believe that embracing his calling will ensure Monica's safe return, and what follows is a search for ancient relics and combat against their guardians. Each victory along the way inspires Peter's confidence that he'll be successful in his task. His bloodlust is under control, and his supernatural abilities become second nature. Not all of his enemies are cut from the same cloth, though, and immortality matched with patience can be a deadly advantage. If threatening the life of his watcher isn't enough to force Peter to cooperate, they know exactly what makes Flynn tick. The ensuing trial pits his lingering killer instincts against his burgeoning humanity, with the life of a lover and a friend hanging in the balance. To keep himself and the ones he cares for alive, Peter will have to decide which calling his soul will answer. What Monica refers to as his destiny, in being the hero nobody asked for? Or as a cold-blooded killer, driven to sate a need for blood and violence answering only to himself?
