description: AN ANCIENT CURSE...
  A MODERN HORROR
  
  In the distant past, in a far-off land, the spell was cast, damning the family to an eternity of blood hunger. Over countless centuries, in the dark of night, they were doomed to assume the shape of savage beasts, deadly black panthers driven by a maddening fever to quench their unspeakable thirst. Then Selene DeMarco found herself the last female of her line, and she had just one hope to save her soul: Before her next birthday, she had to mate with a descendent of the man who had plunged her family into endless agony.
  
  But Selene knew there was another of her kind determined to stop her-a maniac who would kill and kill again, leaving each victim more ruthlessly butchered. He would do anything to claim Selene and satisfy his burning need to spawn a new generation. Caught in a shadow world full of crazed lust and twisted desires, Selene fought to win the love that would redeem her from everlasting death.
