Book one in the series of vampires and hybrids that hold a forbidden connection, with a dark, life-and-death, rebirth tone and secrets between lovers. This book charts the life of Craven from when he was born into a noble family under a murder of crows, which had sealed his fate to become a vampire, at the hands of a female vampire, who had been told that her fated mate would be born under a murder of crows. And his life growing into a man, the killing of his family at the hands of vampires that the female had created, his death and rebirth into a vampire, the death of his wife and unborn child at his hands. The burning of his home was to remove any trace of what had happened there. The rage that he housed towards the woman who turned him, moving to a town that didn't know him, his sire taught him how to survive on the blood of the living. But she dies after drinking dead blood, being found by another vampire who teaches him how to live on animal blood and the covens in the world. Handed the vampire's cross before leaving, to be found by the king's men and taken to the king, to have a life there, with mortal men and women, finding a witch who becomes his friend, who produces a sleeping potion or when he wants a deep sleep. Where he finds Marigold, whom he takes as his woman, for his bed, she learns that she is a witch, and she then has children with different men to carry on her bloodline-that promise to protect him through the years and centuries of his deep sleep.
