"WELCOME TO THE DARKNESS..." The attack changed her life. It came sudden, took her mother and father, and then left with only blood, scars and broken memories. Antoinette Drake had only a few options. She could live in blissful ignorance, or she could face the bloodsuckers that took her loved ones. It was a no-brainer. Now barely a teenager, Toni struggles to survive her occupation as a vampire hunter in training alongside her childhood friend, Ethan. A club shrouded in darkness catches the Agency's attention, and it's up to Toni to discover its secrets. What is Eternal? Who is Oliver Blackwell? Will Toni gain the status of a true hunter, or will her life and sanity be snuffed out by the oldest monster still walking the earth? One thing's for sure... it won't be easy. It never is.

** On-Hiatus Until Further Notice!** "DANGEROUS ENEMIES CAN ALWAYS RETURN..." Welcome to Manhattan, New York, a place where monsters roam free and magic is a must. It can be difficult to live here as a human, but I manage. My name is Antoinette Sinclair, formally Drake, and I'm currently working for the local Agency here. No longer a hunter in the field, I still have to deal with the supernatural on a daily basis. Lately, the vampires of the city have been reined in, I guess you could say. At least, that's what Kira - current master vampire - claims. Regardless of the status of New York's undead, I've kept this place as my home with Henri, my husband. My sister Liz has been training hard, but something about her behavior seems off. What could it be? To top it all off, the mysterious and powerful supernatural council has made their presence known, and they're curious about the grimoire of Viviana Garland, not to mention Drusilla Radcliffe, a hybrid in hiding. Could the council be trusted? Could anyone be trusted in this damn city? With my luck, the answer was a hard maybe... This is the Spin-Off of The Hunters Saga! 1st draft, so there WILL be mistakes!

"THE AFTERLIFE CAN BE A REAL BITCH, RIGHT?" "Henri-" I began, but Henri's hand snatched up mine and squeezed tightly enough to break bones. I bit my tongue to hold back a cry. It was a warning. "Maria didn't say anything about a couple of vampires wanting to meet with her," the green-haired warlock spoke after the area had stilled with electrified silence. I looked Henri's way, and that's really when our situation caught up with me. Wait... "Maria..." I murmured in remembrance, then sent Henri a glare. "Why are we here to see Maria Day? If you don't remember, let me remind you that I killed her friend. Hell, her master. She'll kill me when she sees me." Henri had the nerve to laugh softly. "You're already dead, Antoinette." "Thanks to you. There are other ways witches can hurt vampires, aren't there?" My eyes traveled shortly to the warlocks, Daniel and Zachary, and I shook my head. "She'll burn me alive! I'm not going in there." "You're overacting," Henri said with a dramatic eye roll with a worth of a slap across his face. Lucky for him, I kept my hands at my sides. This night was about to get dangerous... This is Book 3 of The Hunters Saga! 1st draft, so there WILL be mistakes!

"DEATH IS QUICKLY CLOSING IN..." "You don't know what control is." I blinked. "Okay, so... I'm stuck with you until I die?" "For all eternity," he nodded, smirking a little. I crossed my arms. "Eternity's a long time, especially for a vampire like yourself. I'm sure you're find someone else." "I doubt that," Henri muttered back softly. His cinnamon scent tickled my nose, openly tempting me, and I wanted so badly to kiss him. To tell him I... loved him. Was that the Mark talking, or was it just me now? Henri moved aside, watching me quietly as I slid into the black leather padded front seat of my new Mustang. I buckled up, ignited the engine, and put the vampire - as well as The Wolfsbane Rubies - far behind me. I felt the Mark rise up with every aching pound of my heart as the distance between us grew, as if he and I really were tied together somehow. It would be hard to stay away. Extremely hard. I felt that vampire with every inch that expanded between us. This bonded thing would be harder than I thought... This is Book 2 of The Hunters Saga!! 1st draft, so there WILL be mistakes!

Where a man would kill to find his wife warming another mans bed, a time when women would consider it the greatest of adultery or fornication to warm a bed other than her husbands.
