Hunted

After 100 years of blending in with humans and following the rules doled out to vampires, Edith Dorset is ready for a change. She never expects that upheaval to come at her clan’s “vampires vs. humans” recruitment event. Or in the form of a charming vampire hunter with ties to her own human past. Darren Paxton has only two priorities since his parents’ murder at the hands of vampires: Take out as many bloodsuckers as possible, and protect the only family he has left.

Six weeks after Edith and her vampire family were exiled from their clan, Darren waits at the rendezvous, poised for a reunion that might never come. With every passing day, his hope of ever seeing the vampire who showed him what it means to be human again dwindles. On the run from Hunters and her own clan alike, Edith strives to protect those in her care, all the while fighting to get back to Darren and the family she’d long dreamed of. But even when their paths do cross again, reunion comes at a cost.

Three months after Mr. Heartsong lit the match that ignited the second Vampire-Human Civil War, Darren and his team of Hunters are doing all they can to combat a vicious enemy. But even with Edith and her daughters firmly on their side, the humans face overwhelming odds, and not everyone comes back unscathed. The heat of battle forces Darren and Edith to confront the reality of their tenuous romance: She’s immortal and there’s no chance he’d let her turn him. As the ultimate battle looms, fate comes calling. To win, Darren and Edith will have to leave everything on the line.
