Synopsis

                            A fantastic series you won't want to miss!
~ #1 New York Times Best Selling Author Sherrilyn Kenyon

Mighty warriors sworn to protect humanity, the shape-shifters known as The Shadowmen move between two worlds. Now their dark leader has exiled himself from the spirit world, opening the door to the forces of chaos...and to the power of love.

Half wolf, half man, Aragon has abandoned his brethren to repay a debt of honor; he is sworn to kill a rogue Blood Hunter, though exacting revenge will doom him to a ghostly existence trapped between two worlds. But when a mortal woman unexpectedly calls him to her side, the heat of her soft flesh arouses a hunger in him that threatens to complicate his mission.

Dr. Annette Batista, a dedicated healer, is determined to find her missing sister. With the amulet found at the site of her sister's disappearance, she unwittingly summons a shadowy warrior. She wonders if she can trust this powerful male named Aragon, who claims he can vanquish her sister's captor -- the very monster he's vowed to destroy. Or is Annette blinded by her shocking passion for the most alluring, mysterious man she's ever seen?

About this title

From the Author

Have you ever visited a place and immediately sensed something special about it? Something different than any other place you'd been before. A uniqueness that had nothing to do with the beauty of the scenery but everything to do with what you couldn't see? I have. I know others have, too. There are books written about the world's sacred places, where people sense spirits lingering in the atmosphere or an underlying mystical aura that reaches deep into their hearts.

In THE LURE OF THE WOLF, I created such a place and called it Spirit Wind Mountain. Amid the mists and the wind, there are restless spirits hovering between this world and the next. And once upon a time, ancient people gathered to worship. It is a place full of mystical power that plays a very important role in my story. If you have ever experienced a place like this, I would love to know about it. So please make a comment on my website jenniferstgiles.com or on Facebook at or Tweet me at @jenniferstgiles.

For readers who didn't read the revamped version of TOUCH A DARK WOLF, I made some subtle changes to the Shadowmen lore. When I first wrote this story, I had to take out certain elements because the original publisher felt readers wouldn't want them. One particular element was the reasoning behind people with "special" blood and what that might mean to the evil forces we all know exist both in this world and in the spirit world beyond. So as I reworked this story to release on my own, I went in and added that element. What I previously had to call Elan, those with special blood, I could go back to calling Chosen. I could now explain that the Chosen were the descendants of King Solomon and his seven hundred wives and three hundred concubines from many nationalities that scattered to the ends of the earth upon his death. The bloodline from which King Solomon came had been blessed, so in the paranormal world I built, I made that blood special and created an evil that craved the blessed blood for its power. I hope you enjoy the changes I made. To me it adds fullness to the story and comes so much closer to the tale I wanted to tell so many years ago.

Reasons do matter.

It takes only one good man or woman to stand firm to keep evil from filling the void. Happy Reading!
