"Some curses steal life... Others ask you to share it." Isaiah Flores survived the impossible. But surviving came with a price. Now haunted by a curse that no Hunter has ever endured, Isaiah leaves behind everything he has ever known and journeys to Vernon, Texas-a town where ancient secrets sleep beneath quiet streets and the scent of honeysuckle lingers on the evening wind. Guided by Chloe and searching for a legendary vampire hunter, Isaiah soon discovers that the stories he was raised to believe were only half the truth. Not all vampires drink blood. Not all monsters choose to become monsters. And some of the deadliest curses are born from love, not hate. As old alliances crumble and a new darkness begins to awaken, Isaiah will be forced to question everything he believes about Hunters, Werewolves... and the mysterious Strigoi. Because sometimes the greatest danger isn't the monster hunting you... It's the one trying to save you.

A Whole New Fantasy. A Story of Dark Romance, Ancient Curses, and Betrayal. For generations, the Hunters of Ace, Texas have lived by one rule: Destroy the monsters before they destroy us. Seventeen-year-old Isaiah Flores has spent his life preparing to carry that burden. Armed with a centuries-old bone dagger marked by a mysterious Black X, he believes he knows exactly who the enemy is. Then he meets Alyssa. A girl with impossible glowing green eyes. A girl who should be his enemy... ...but feels strangely connected to him. As brutal killings spread across town, Isaiah discovers that the line between Hunter and monster isn't as clear as he was taught. Ancient secrets buried since the days of Peter Stumpp and the Salem witch trials begin to surface, forcing Hunters and werewolves alike to question everything they believe. With every revelation comes another impossible choice. How do you kill a monster... ...when the monster might be the person you're trying to save? And when the truth is finally uncovered, Isaiah will learn that some curses were never meant to be broken. Some were waiting for him.
