They lived millions of years
ago, fatalities of fear and prejudice. Now, answers to a prayer for survival,
they are among us again. Other shifters were nearly extinct, murdered by the
thousands at mostly human hands. Capable of shifting at will, without the aid
of the moon’s phases, they were born to protect them. Bigger, stronger, faster,
and longer living, with highly developed preternatural abilities, they are
prized outsiders among their packs. Prized for their ability to protect, yet
destined to live as outsiders because of the very differences necessary to
prevent the pack’s extinction.
Born to stand at the crossroads
between pack-members and their slaughterers, Sentinels quickly learn that they
are on their own – a different species. Born human, only two are born to each
pack, male and female alphas, brother and sister. Pack members deny them mating
privileges within the pack based on fear. No female wants to bear a sentinel
because their lives are constantly at risk. When danger comes to the pack, they
are on the front line, considered expendable.
When they reach mating age,
they leave the pack for a time to find a mate – another sentinel. What happens
when a sentinel develops feelings for a human? What happens when malevolent
scientists learn how to strengthen humans by using sentinel blood? As you
can imagine, with their feral nature barely beneath the surface, Dark Sentinel
passions run high. Touch, affection, and loyalty are necessary for their
survival, and they are willing to go to extraordinary measures, risk
everything, and break every rule for love.
Dark Sentinels – Book One: Sable
Sable, a sentinel wolf shifter, is captured and
locked in his wolf form until Akila, a veterinarian, tries to tame
him and unleashes a 6'5" baby blue-eyed surprise.
Dr. Akila Marshall is a veterinarian with a calling – save
as many stray animals as possible. The only child of wealthy, yet distant
parents, she’s convinced that love is not for her. Until…
Sable’s search for his twin sister leads him to Akila. Born
into a rare species of wolf shifters whose main purpose is protecting others,
he has always been forced to fend for himself, but Akila’s loving, protective
nature draws him – and not a moment too soon. Together, they must learn to
trust each other enough to overcome a new, deadly enemy.

The word "slaughterers" caught my eye. I don't think I've EVER seen that word anywhere. That alone piqued my interest.
