Command Assassin Nykyrian Quikiades once turned his back on the League—and has been hunted by them ever since. Though many have tried, none can kill him or stop him from completing his current mission: to protect Kiara Zamir, a woman whose father’s political alliance has made her a target.

As her world becomes even deadlier, Kiara must entrust her life to the same kind of beast who once killed her mother and left her for dead.

Background on how the series came to be: "Sherri originally planned for the League to be an ongoing series. She wrote 5 complete novels and started on five more. The first novel was bought and published by Kensington. The proposal for the second and third novels, Born of Fire and Born of Desire, remained there for over two years as option books that were never purchased.

"The fourth finished book, Paradise City was purchased by Dorchester and ended up being the first book to make it into print. Sadly, Dorchester passed on the next three books in the series, as well as the manuscript for Night Pleasures that would have launched the Dark-Hunter books.

"Born of Fire was ultimately completed and ended up being the first ebook published by a New York author in 1996. Fire and Ice, which was the sequel to Paradise City was cut down and then published as a novella (it alone has remained in print since the day it was published. Berkley will rerelease it in March 2010).

Caillen's story remains finished, but unpublished.
