Outcasts — Gail R. Delaney

Victor turned his back on everything he knew -- everything he thought he was -- to help Michael Tanner be free from his Areth tormentors. Now, he is at the mercy of Phoenix and their mission to be free of the very enemy Victor represents.

Something dark haunts Victor, threatening to steal his sanity -- even his life. He doesn't understand it, has no name for it; he only knows the malicious darkness in his mind wants him dead for his treachery in helping the humans.

Only in Beverly Surimoto's tender touch does he find some fraction of peace. But how much can he take from her before it's too much? How much before she realizes the demon he is and turns him away?
