How it starts

Lyssandra is a hunter of the Helius Order, sworn to slay vampires and protect the innocent. But her life is a lie—she's also a vampire's human servant. If her secret is revealed, her own order will execute her. Her mission is to find Asher, the vampire who bonded her to him, and kill him, even if it means her own death. But when a young girl is found dead, her mission is derailed. The signature left at the scene is that of Karpov, an ancient vampire who killed her uncle. To find Asher, she must work with her uncle's murderer. Asher's death could bring her peace, but can she accept it when it means leaving her uncle's killer alive? For fans of Sarah J. Maas and The Witcher, this dark fantasy features a slow-burn, steamy enemies-to-lovers romance.
