Once, Jaxon was only a boy of the woods-growing up beside Erie, chasing childhood adventures beneath the moonlight, and dreaming of a future untouched by war. But destiny is cruel. Fire consumed his world, leaving him with nothing but grief, rage, and the curse of his bloodline. Born a werewolf, Jaxon sharpened his pain into steel. With blades forged in sacred fire, he hunted the children of the night-turning vampire hearts to ash and carving his name into legend. For decades, he walked as a shadow, immortal and relentless, feared by monsters and revered by men. But his war drew the attention of Valeria, the immortal Vampire Queen. Beautiful, cunning, and merciless, she ensnared Jaxon in chains of blood and desire. Turned against his will, he became the very thing he despised-neither wolf nor vampire, but something darker. Something more. A Hybrid. Now, trapped between two worlds, Jaxon must wrestle with his hunger, his rage, and the dangerous seduction of power. The line between love and damnation blurs as kingdoms rise, wars ignite, and shadows whisper of a prophecy that only he can fulfill. In the end, will Jaxon master the curse within him-or be consumed by it?
