Burdened with the past and their pain, Anjael Anutari Wasi and her uncle Lord Ouroboros, begin another chapter with the wolves of Lost Mine pack. Their facade of being Demons keeps those around them in fear for their souls and the debt they owe Anjael for saving them. War is coming to the wolves and the Cruor are too few to stop the return of the mad Deva of the Sun, War, and Burning Blood. They can only help those who ask for "Sanctuary" while they fend of attacks by the Romani Clan who wants Anjael, not as a queen, but as a breeder. She isn't the innocent maiden the Eastern Queen Echidna once chained in a cave to egg for her brother and his Romani lover, Anjael has declared herself The Western Queen.
