Synopsis

DARK POWER He had been tricked, lured to this place to die, but he had survived, drawing his strength with each passing day from the wind, the fog, the earth. For he was the dark, magnificent, all-powerful Shapechanger, dreaming and waiting, always waiting through the years, the centuries, for the time when he would unleash his terrible longings . . . And then the woman had come whom he had dreamed of, existed for, killed for. And he would do it again and again until he regained all of his powers to possess her and share with her the secret of life. Then he would never be alone again for all eternity . . . DARK LONGING Kate had been eager to spend the summer on Smoke Island with her artist husband. But when they arrived, feelings of dread and menace engulfed her and the ancient legend of the evil shaman who inhabited the island haunted her. And when dreams of longing, frightening and sorrowful, invaded her sleep, she knew she could no longer ignore her ever-increasing terror of the unholy presence that seemed to be everywhere, watching her, controlling her desires. Nor could she dispell the insatiable wanting that overpowered her, that beckoned her, telling her that if she was willing to die, she would know the true meaning of life . . .
