Davide Beowolf: Since childhood, Davide has been told that he is the fulfillment of prophesy--the Great Shapeling Prince. Early on, he decided the universe had made a mistake. How can he be the Prince when he has no shifting ability? For years he has wanted to confront the Thirteen co-Princes to convince them of their error, and when that opportunity is unexpectedly given, it is with a strange stipulation. He must first travel to Uluru in The Red Center of Australia and go on a walkabout with his childhood friend and confidant, Zoe Spencer. Only after completing their walkabout will his father reveal directions to the Cave of Thirteen. Unfortunately, Zoe has been avoiding him for two years.Zoe Spencer: Zoe just wants to get on with her life. After accepting the fact that Davide Beowolf will always view her as his older friend--never his soul mate and lover--she severed contact to preserve her heart. She'd already spent too much of her adulthood pining for him. While on tour with her symphony orchestra in Spain, Davide unexpectedly shows up with an incredible request. Can she refuse his plea?
