Gideon is the oldest demon left; his life has been filled with seeing that his race survives and treating patients. He’s never thought about a mate for himself, but when he probes Magdelegna’s mind and body to ascertain her health, the feelings he has hidden from even himself spring forth. She is meant to be his; he must find a way to convince her of this fact, and to make right the wrong he did her almost a decade before.

Magdelegna has always respected Gideon’s rank as one of the oldest Nightwalkers, as well as his expertise as a medic, but she resents his intrusion into her body and mind. Soon she discovers what he already knows, they are Imprinted - life-mates for eternity. Her love for the handsome medic grows when he saves her friend after she is attacked. And when their culture is threatened once again by war, Magdelegna helps Gideon fight his inner demons as well as betrayal from within their race.

The culmination of their love is tried time and again but Magdelegna as well as Gideon discover love without one another would make life not worth living.
