Part of Guild Hunter, book 10
First published 2017
Holly Chang stalks through the city's underground passages, tracking targets for her angelic employers. She was once called Sorrow, a broken girl who survived brutal torture by a mad archangel. The attack left her transformed with vampire bloodlust, hypnotic abilities, and venomous fangs. Now someone wants her dead badly enough to post a bounty on her life. Venom belongs to the Seven, the elite guard protecting Archangel Raphael. This ancient vampire carries poison more lethal than Holly's own toxic bite. He irritates Holly as much as he attracts her. Venom can shield Holly from the hunters closing in, but he faces his own danger. The violent force that changed Holly continues to grow stronger inside her. As this power awakens fully, it threatens everyone around her. Holly must survive the bounty hunters while controlling the deadly energy that could destroy both her and Venom.
