Eden is sent to Uoria and given the task to test the blood of the Denynso. Only that's against the rules. She doesn't want to be that close to them anyway. From everything she'd heard about the species they are more temperamental than her, but her boss' ultimatum gives her no choice. She goes and gets what he wants or she loses her job, her livelihood.

When Eden arrives she is confronted by Pyra, a man who believes he is god's gift to women, but she thinks he's a jerk and doesn't have time for his games. The more she dislikes him, the more her body yearns for him.

Pyra can't stay away from the new human scientist that has been sent to study his kind. When there is an attack by Denynso enemies and she lands in the crossfire his feelings come out. She's injured and never before has he ever felt fear like he felt when he saw her lying on the ground beneath a vile beast he fights. She's his mate, and he refuses to let her go no matter how much she hates him. Not when he'd gotten a taste of what it would be like to be with her.

Will Pyra be able to save Eden and win her over for good, or is it already too late?
