Drahomir thought he'd never see her again, that she was still trapped in Hell with the Demon Prince who was her father. When Rain fell back into his life he began questioning the traditions and laws that for centuries had governed the wereleopard Kolektiv he now ruled; the laws that were keeping Rain from being accepted as his Mate. As the new Kral, Drahomir has to defend his changes within the Kolectiv, protect Rain from those who wished her dead and he must embrace the changes within their evolving relationship. To remain stagnant was to risk losing everything he loved.
