A Hunger Like No Other

by Kresley Cole · 2006

When sheltered half‑vampire, half‑Valkyrie Emmaline Troy travels to Paris to uncover the mystery of her parents' deaths, she never expects to be knocked down by a towering werewolf with a seductive Scottish brogue. Lachlain MacRieve, the ancient Lykae king, has been trapped beneath the city for 150 years, waiting for his fated mate. The moment Emmaline’s scent reaches him, he breaks free, determined to claim the woman destiny has bound to him—despite the centuries‑long hatred between their kinds. As Emmaline is thrust into the wild world of the Lykae clan and the looming shadows of her own past, a fierce, slow‑burning attraction ignites between them. Together they must confront an ancient evil that threatens to tear them apart, testing whether love can bridge the divide between vampire and werewolf and turn a gentle beauty into a warrior and a proud king into a man who surrenders to desire.
