Lila refuses to acknowledge the imminent transformation that she will eventually succumb to. Instead, she staves off her conversion in hopes that she can do so for a long while. Seemed to be easy, until she killed a boy.
Now the only link to end her suffering comes by way of Stirling, an arrogant and crude beast, charged with kidnapping her. And boy, he is too sexy for his own good. When Stirling finds that his boss is in the process of exterminating Stirling and Lila's race, the duo has to cut through the sexual tension between them long enough to decide which one of them lives, and which one of them dies.
