Xander hates werewolves. In all fairness, they're not too keen on him either. Normally, avoidance would be the obvious solution. At least, it would be if the werewolves in question weren't holding a newly turned six-year-old vampire child as a prisoner. Alone in London, it's up to Xander to rescue the boy before he can fall into the hands of Bael's sadistic servant, Bastian Kovac. That mission that becomes exponentially more difficult when Xander discovers the identity of the mysterious female werewolf acting as the boy's guardian. With the forces of darkness closing in from all directions, nothing is as it seems. There's a reason vampires and werewolves don't mix. Of course, in more than a hundred and twenty years, no one has ever accused Xander of playing by the rules. Why should he start now? * * * The Circle of Blood Series In another lifetime, six vampires lost their mates-and their mortality-to an unimaginable evil power.
