Some truths are revealed only in darkness.
Roland Smith has spent eighteen years hunting vampires, fueled by a vengeance that has outlived nearly everything else in his life.
Nicolette "Nikki" Emmerton has spent her life dreaming about monsters she was never supposed to know existed.
When one of those nightmares becomes real, their worlds collide-and Nikki proves far more dangerous than anyone expected. Her actions draw the attention of a ruthless vampire who turns violence into spectacle and has his own reasons for wanting her dead.
Protecting Nikki should be another hunt for Roland. Instead, she becomes the one person capable of reaching the man beneath his anger.
As people disappear, alliances fracture, and long-buried truths begin to surface, Roland and Nikki are pulled deeper into a hidden war where the line between hunter and monster grows increasingly difficult to see. Every victory demands a price, and vengeance comes with consequences neither of them can escape.

Because vengeance always demands a sacrifice.
And the sharpest weapon cuts both ways.
