Vera fights twice as hard to be half as good.
As the adopted daughter of Silas Vane-the most legendary vampire hunter in existence-she was raised to be a weapon. She has the best education, the harshest training, and a burning desire to avenge her murdered parents. She also has Finn, the human boy she swore to protect with her life.
But against immortal creatures, human effort isn't enough.
While Silas slaughters monsters with the grace of a god, Vera's purely human reflexes leave her struggling to survive even the weakest ghouls. Fearing for her life, Silas forbids her from the hunt, locking away his silver and leaving her armed with nothing but common steel. But Vera refuses to stay behind. She pushes her body to the breaking point, fully aware that her human limitations will likely get her killed.
Until the night an encounter with an ancient evil leaves her changed.
Vera wakes up with the devastating speed and power she always desperately wanted, but it isn't a gift-it's a death sentence. She knows exactly what her father does to monsters. If Silas sees what she has become, he won't look at her with pride; he will look at her down the barrel of his revolver.
Vera finally has the strength to survive. The only problem? It comes with a monstrous hunger she cannot control-and the first thing she wants to devour is the boy she swore to protect.
