Corinne Bishop loses everything at eighteen when the vampire Dragos kidnaps her from her family. Years of imprisonment and suffering follow until the Order rescues her. These vampire warriors fight an ongoing war against Dragos and his army. The Order assigns Hunter to protect Corinne during her journey home. Hunter carries his own dark history as Dragos's former top assassin. Now he serves the Order and seeks revenge against his old master for countless crimes. As Hunter and Corinne travel together, desire grows between them. Hunter faces an impossible choice. He must decide whether completing his mission to destroy Dragos matters more than protecting the woman he has come to love. The war against evil demands sacrifice, but Hunter discovers some prices cut too deep to pay.
