Soul Dance

Tarnished Beginnings, the prequel and first book of the Soul Dance series, are included in this audiobook.

Born in a caravan, Tairin Jabari always believed she was Romani-until her wolf shows up, and the elders move with deadly speed to punish her mother for mating outside the blood. Fearing for her own life, Tairin runs away. With her survival on the line every single day, she and her wolf face hard choices Book 2: Roll the clock forward two hundred years. Tairin's no stranger to hiding her mixed blood from gypsy caravans. What she can't hide is her perpetual youth, courtesy of her shifter side. She's overstayed her welcome where she is, but Germany is at war, and travel has become impossible for everyone targeted by the Reich. Seer for all the caravans in Germany, Elliot catches Tairin eavesdropping outside their leader's wagon. She's always fascinated him, so instead of turning her in, he interrogates her. Her magic is different, but he can't figure out what she is. Any association between Romani and shifters is forbidden. If Tairin can wend her way through the minefield of Elliot's questions, she'll have to leave--before he discovers what she is and destroys her.

Yara senses Romani near her cave. The stench of vampire comes through loud and clear too, along with shifters. Another type of magic plucks at her, and curiosity draws her from her hiding place.
