Infected as a child, ostracized as an adult, Assar has spent most of his life hunting vampires.
Oksana, a sanguine vampire raised from birth to rule her family's clan finds herself thrust into the seat of power at the abrupt murder of her parents. Together the unlikely pair must solve a murder, catch a killer, and deal with the most complicated issue of all, their undeniable attraction to each other.

Can one who is termed tainted, dirty and a half-blood who kills her kind and a beautiful Sanguine vampire work harmoniously together…not just on the battlefield?

Assar shook his head, “No what I’m looking for.”


She nodded and said, “The next is Kessar. He is a superior vampire who specializes in taming and selling monsters that are bought for breeding uses.”
