Bound by Shadow and Blood: The Fated Hunter

For years, Elara Vance has hunted the whispers in the dark, a lone wolf with a silver-edged blade and a burning need for vengeance against the creatures that stole her family. She believes she knows the rules of the hidden war, that every monster is a target. But her world shatters when a routine hunt leads her into the path of Kaelen, a dangerously alluring and ancient vampire who is as lethal as he is enigmatic.



Kaelen isn't just a monster; he's a lord of the clandestine supernatural society thriving beneath the city's neon glow, and he claims Elara is his fated mate – a bond she fiercely rejects. As she's dragged deeper into a world of shadowed politics, forbidden alliances, and powers she never knew she possessed, Elara realizes her entire life has been a lie. The true enemy is far more insidious than she imagined, and her own dormant abilities might be the key to saving a world she never knew existed.



Caught between her ingrained hatred for his kind and an undeniable, scorching pull towards the very creature she's sworn to destroy, Elara must decide if she can trust the morally grey vampire, especially when he looks at her with a possessive fury that promises retribution for anyone who dares to touch what's his. But can a hunter truly fall for her prey, even if fate demands it? And will their fated bond be their salvation, or their ultimate undoing?
