Sentinel Rune Ainissesthai owns a favour to Vampyre Carling. When he gets to the secluded island where she is waiting to die, Carling sends him away but Rune decides to stay and help her find a cure to whatever is killing her.

The writing makes this book easy to read but unfortunately it is also very boring. I think the author wanted to try something new away from the fights and continued action that fill her two other books, but those are the reason I read this series and I wouldn't have kept reading if this was the first book of the series. The lack of action is supposedly balanced by a lot of romance as more than half of the book is about two people on an island. I feel this story was better off as a novella. There's also too many references to Apple products (I hope the publicity helped the author in some way) and since the story relies heavily on descriptions, there's only so many words you can use to describe the same feelings and scenes, sometimes it felt I was reading the same description multiple times. The 4th book - [b:Oracle's Moon|11458578|Oracle's Moon (Elder Races, #4)|Thea Harrison|http://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1327192039s/11458578.jpg|16392681] - promises to have a more interesting duo so I'll probably read it, but I would gladly skip this one from the series.
