A warrior bound in chains... A defender sworn to release him... An accidental claiming which cannot be undone...

When Imani meets J'are, she accidentally claims him as her own. But can he protect her from the most dangerous threat of all...the beast which lives within him? Listen to Unleashed by the Defender to find out.

Imani is a crusader for justice. After a tragic event in her family, she has sworn to fight for those who are unjustly accused and imprisoned. So when she is asked to go to another planet and fight for the rights of a Kindred warrior who is scheduled for execution, she jumps at the chance. But there's one problem - he's a Nightwalker Kindred, a species so dangerous, even the other Kindred shun them. Imani is fearless and determined to free her new client, but what happens when she accidentally claims him as her own?

J'are has been locked in the hole for so long that his feral side has completely taken over. When he is brought into court, he's no better than a snarling, snapping animal, ready to tear out the throat of anyone who comes too close. But when he sees Imani, things change. He's dreamed of her - dreamed of her beautiful dark eyes and gentle voice, and he knows she's the female for him. But enemies surround them, and Imani is being attacked from every side by deadly forces she knows nothing about. Can J'are protect her from the death threats? And can he protect her from the most dangerous enemy of all - his wild feral side who is intent on bonding her to him for life?

You'll have to listen to Unleashed by the Defender to find out....
