This series is about The Amoveo people; an ancient race of shape-shifters who have lived secretly among humans for thousands of years. The Amoveo are made up of ten different animal clans. Eagle, Lion, Panther, Tiger, Bear, Wolf, Hawk, Fox, Cheetah, Coyote. They are telepathic, dream walking, shape-shifters that are born with a pre-destined soul mate. If an Amoveo does not find their mate by the time they reach the age of 30 they begin to lose their abilities and eventually die. They can only have children with their life mates. They are physically beautiful, incredibly strong and once they are mated have considerably longer life spans than humans. However, the limitations with their breeding patterns, makes their race extremely fragile. Only two branches of humans know of the Amoveo's existence; the Caedo family and the Vasullus family. For generations The Caedo family have dedicated their lives to the annihilation of the Amoveo. Like so many others, they are driven by ignorance and fear and have hunted the Amoveo to the brink of extinction. When one Amoveo is killed, their mate eventually dies and any children they would have had are lost. The Vasullus family, however, serve as protectors for the Amoveo. The first book which is set on the misty, summer shores of Rhode Island follows the evolving courtship of Malcolm Drew of the Eagle Clan and his mate Samantha Logan. Sam is the first of her kind, she's a hybrid. Her father was Amoveo of the Wolf Clan and her mother was a human with psychic abilities. Her parents were killed in an accident when she was an infant and she was raised by her human grandparents. As a result, Sam was never taught any of the Amoveo ways and her abilities have lay dormant all of her life. Until she meets Malcolm. He introduces her to a magical, mystical world that is as foreign to Sam; as the burning passion he ignites within her. Their relationship is complicated by the looming threat of the Caedo that are hunting them. However, we soon learn that the Caedo hunter has enlisted the help of an unknown partner, who is out to destroy Malcolm and his unusual mate. Can Malcolm convince of her true heritage before it is too late?« less
