Ravenous

Ravenous takes place in the Skein, a realm of legend that lies beyond the mortal world. Vampires, witches, demons and wolves rule it, and they pursue both their wars and their pleasures with equal ferocity. A cycle called the Accession has now begun. It is an ancient time of chaos and destiny that revives old hostilities and pulls together fated pairs who cannot resist one another.

The book follows four pairings. A rising witch queen stands against the brutal wolf king who blocks her path, and when their battlefield turns into a place of temptation, the two enemies become lovers. A vampire princess gives up her crown to be free, only to find herself bound to a scarred Berserker whose possessive touch frightens and draws her in equal measure.

An incubus spy and a cunning vampiress make a risky bargain to survive and to profit, but desire turns out to be the one gamble neither of them planned for. Finally, a wolf and an enchantress from rival clans try to make peace. Their forbidden attraction could bring down the Skein, or it could ignite a love strong enough to defy the gods.

The book is a paranormal romance by Kresley Cole, published by Bloom Books.
