Mercy Bennett was raised to be a hunter—sharp, unyielding, and utterly lethal. But when a mission goes wrong and ancient secrets unravel, she finds herself drawn into a world far darker than anything she’s ever faced. Plagued by fever, violent dreams, and a power inside her she can’t control, Mercy is brought to Valera, the fortress of vampire royalty, where truths she’s spent her whole life avoiding come clawing to the surface. Surrounded by monsters she once hunted, she's forced to rely on the very creatures she was trained to kill—particularly Cassian, a stoic and infuriatingly protective vampire whose presence stirs something dangerous in her chest. As her health deteriorates and old memories surface, Mercy begins to uncover a bloodline buried by magic, a celestial war she never asked to be a part of, and a destiny written in fire and ash. Torn between the humanity she clings to and the divinity she was born for, she must decide who to trust, what to believe—and whether the monster within her is truly worth saving. Sharp-tongued, slow-burning, and rich with supernatural tension, this is a story of forbidden blood, buried secrets, and the terrifying power of becoming exactly what you were meant to be.

Cassidy Humphries had grown up with wolves, had ran with them, trained with them, had even schooled with them, but she had never shifted with them. Cassidy Humphries with her big brown eyes and wild red hair did not belong to the pack, a human among wolves, but she was still family. Theodore Wolfgrimm had grown up side by side with Cassidy, hell, her older brother was his best f*ck*ng friend, his beta for goddess sake, he had always thought she was breathtaking, but had never paid her much mind. It would never work, she was a human! An ill match, he had convinced himself, until one beautiful summer night..the goddess blessed him. He had turned 21, finally old enough to find his soulmate, his forever person (and hopefully get his red headed crush out of his mind), he wasn't expecting her to be home, she was usually still off at her boarding school this early into the summer but to his delightful surprise..his own personal gift from the goddess, his very own goddess..but things could never be that simple, could they? Cassidy has a boyfriend. And he wants nothing more than to kill Theo and his entire family, and sweet, caring Cassidy is his perfect doorway to do just that.. or is she?
