Talon of the Morrigantes, a centuries-old protector of humanity and a formidable force in the supernatural world, finds his carefully constructed existence upended by an unexpected encounter. Content with his solitary, nocturnal life—a routine of saving innocents and seeking fleeting pleasures with no strings attached—Talon believes he's immune to deeper connections. However, his world collides with the vibrant, unconventional Sunshine Runningwolf. This spirited woman, who not only saves him from a bizarre Mardi Gras float incident but also inexplicably misplaces his pants, is everything he never knew he needed. Sunshine, a free spirit who, like Talon, shies away from commitment, paradoxically awakens long-dormant desires and dreams within him. Despite their mutual reluctance for ties, Talon finds himself increasingly drawn to her unique charm. Yet, a ancient curse dictates that love will bring about the death of those he cares for, and a powerful enemy lurks, threatening to destroy him and anyone close to him. Talon must navigate his burgeoning feelings for Sunshine against the backdrop of an impending supernatural war and the ever-present shadow of his own tragic destiny.
