A young huntress. A deadly fae. Enough secrets to destroy them all. Danika and her brother, Damir, are Emyr Hunters: members of an elite guild who protect the people of Byrask from the fae that fill their forests. They're also broke and desperate. Which is why they agree to take on a bounty for a deadly fae, even though everyone else who dared to hunt him has died in the attempt. Danika might have misgivings over the risk, but Damir is determined. And she'll follow her brother into the darkest abyss if she has to.Velislav is a fae with blood on his hands, leaving a path of bodies and terror in his wake. He is everything Danika has been taught to despise about the fae: bloodthirsty, cunning, and careless with the lives he destroys. And he's far more powerful than any they've hunted before. So why, when they finally meet, does he let them live? Why does he act like she's more than his enemy? The longer Danika tracks Velislav, the more she wonders what's really going on between this deadly fae and the man who hired them to kill him...and the more she wonders why Velislav seems so determined to keep her alive.She's not supposed to show compassion toward their quarry. She's certainly not supposed to question if he's truly the monster their employer claimed. As the body count rises, and more and more secrets come to light, Danika's not sure she's standing on the right side. But when death surrounds her, and everyone involved seems to believe spilling more blood is the only answer, what can she do? The path of the hunter is forged in blood and bone. Can she find a way out? Or is she already doomed to betray someone before this hunt ends?

A doubting champion. A woman carrying more secrets than answers. A coming Solstice that demands blood...but who will still live when the sun sets? The world of Orlin needs a champion, and Viggo signed up. But he realizes too late that he should've read the fine print. These people are demanding more than a warrior: they intend to turn him into something else entirely...something monstrous. And while Viggo has never backed down from a challenge before, the longer he trains the more he wonders if what he's becoming is any better than the monster he's sworn to fight.Isenia has seen far too many champions die to have much hope that this solstice will end differently. Still, as her last chance to regain what she's lost, she can't sit back and do nothing. She realizes quickly, though, that Viggo is far different from the champions who came before him. Perhaps he is what they need to break the cycle of death. But the more time she spends with him, the more lost she feels. If Viggo doesn't fight, they're all doomed. So why does the thought of him stepping forward on that battlefield fill her with more terror than hope?Some lines shouldn't be crossed.
