Part of Dark-Hunter, book 18
First published 2010
Samia once lived by the Amazon warrior code: fight hard, die fast, take your enemies with you. Death came, but immortality followed. Now she walks the streets of contemporary New Orleans, where an ancient evil threatens to destroy mankind. This new enemy wields power beyond anything she has encountered in centuries of battle. Shapeshifter Dev Peltier has protected Sanctuary's entrance for nearly two hundred years. He believed he had witnessed every possible threat. He was wrong. Their adversaries have found a terrible new source of strength that dwarfs all previous dangers. The battle has begun, and Dev and Samia stand at the center of the conflict. Victory demands breaking the most sacred rules. Success might save humanity. Failure could destroy the universe itself. Dev and Samia must choose between following ancient laws or risking everything to stop an unstoppable force.
