Cornered

The hunter and the vampire are no longer chasing each other.

Now someone is hunting them both.

Selene Moonwell thought exposing Deputy Director Voss would finally end the conspiracy that nearly destroyed Nightshade territory.

She was wrong.

The evidence left behind reaches higher.

Director Kessler has spent nearly a decade turning the Order's own authority against supernatural communities, manufacturing incidents, destroying territories and financing the operatives who make every attack look legitimate.

Nightshade was never the beginning.

It was supposed to be the next successful target.

Now Selene and Dorian have five damaged territories, a hidden financial network, a survivor who disappeared nine years ago, and one name connecting the violence behind them all.

Aldric.

Patient. Professional. Almost impossible to find.

And he already knows they are looking.

The warnings begin first.

Then the surveillance.

Then someone tries to kill Selene on a lonely mountain road.

When that fails, the enemy moves closer, targeting the people helping her build the case and proving that Kessler is willing to destroy anyone standing between her and nine years of buried corruption.

But Selene is no longer the isolated hunter who carried Ashgrove alone.

She has Dorian.

She has Nightshade.

She has allies inside the Order, survivors willing to reopen old wounds, and supernatural territories beginning to realise that what happened to them was never random.

And Dorian has no intention of allowing the woman he loves to fight another war by herself.

As the case closes around Kessler, the woman who spent years hunting monsters becomes the target of something far more dangerous: an institution protecting its own secrets.

Every piece of evidence brings them closer.

Every step makes the attacks more desperate.

And when the people who have always controlled the hunt finally realise they are the ones being cornered, Selene and Dorian will discover just how dangerous a frightened enemy can become.

Because surviving the hunt was only the beginning.

Now they have to survive what happens when the prey fights back.
