Lucia Whitewood is many things. A Huntress born to a werewolf couple. The Bane of Supernaturals. The fugitive who'd run to the harsh mercy of Mount Eden against King Henry Arthur's hatred in the face of her parents' brutal death. The mortal who tallied with immortals. The wolf who was never born a wolf. And since the day her parents had died and she'd left Kartyas, Lucia had never looked back. Not even when the self-proclaimed Vampire King, Kol Dallas turned to the werewolves and laid waste to the Royal family, wounding the very foundation of the werewolves. Fifteen years later, a call of duty comes to her. A call from a witch calling in a favour. That was all it was supposed to be. And Lucia rushed, like the fool she was. And what she finds there gets her entangled in the business of werewolves again, something she'd been sworn against. Brian Lanchester lost more than just his King on the day Kol Dallas attacked the werewolves. He had lost his brother, his dearest friend, his pack, and his family. He'd lost a piece of himself, even. Because for all of Henry's indiscretions, he had been and always would be Brian's very heart. And he'd taken it with him as he'd laid to rest next to his infant daughter and wife. Determined to maintain the integrity and life of his werewolves after Henry, Brian had signed a pact with Kol. And now, fifteen years later, as the Chancellor of Werewolves, he was standing on the verge of another war. About to lose everything all over again. His wolves and his Council members refuse to see his point. To see that a war would only end in their annihilation. and just then, the Huntress whoops in their business, trying to help when she'd at first refused to intervene fifteen years ago. When Brian's skepticism meets Lucia's injured loyalty, a rare bond develops between them. As two lonely, hurt souls come together in a warring state at the point of extinction to death in the background of an inter-species war, dark, twisted truths are uncovered. Masks are hurled and new injuries override old ones as they navigate this new world. Where vampires are only part of their problem, not the whole of it.
