The Lupine family was once a symbol for the Order of Hunters to aspire to: strong, united, ruthless and determined. But, after two decades of heartbreak, scandal and considerable loss, the future of their legacy rests of the shoulders of young Erika. She has sacrificed and trained for years in the art of defending humanity against dark supernatural forces, but nothing could prepare her for the task ahead. When a cult of rogue witches break treaty guidelines and kidnap a group of hunters, Erika is thrust into the most dangerous assignment of her career. Accompanied by fellow hunter Alex with rookies Alfie and Florence, the untested hunters take on a gruelling journey across the country to track down their abducted families. Though it is not so simple. The bolder the hunters get in their task, the more the shadows surrounding them begin to grow, and they soon discover that their greatest enemy may not be the one standing on the opposite side of the battlefield, but lurking somewhere far more sinister. NOTE: THIS BOOK IS A FIRST DRAFT WHICH MAY CONTAIN MISTAKES. IT WILL BE EDITED FULLY ONCE THE BOOK IS COMPLETE.

Charley Beckett-perfectly sane, normal, Charley Beckett-counts everything. Years since her parents' unsolved murder: fifteen. Bodies she's found dead: three. Puncture wounds on each of their throats: two. People who believe her when she says vampires are to blame: zero. ​ Since her parents' murder, she's tried to get past her hallucinations, PTSD, and her reputation as the little red-haired girl police found screaming about monsters that didn't-surely, couldn't-exist. But there's this story-conspiracy theory-swirling around her small town that says her father was part of a secret government experiment, one that would prove vampires weren't legends at all. And Charley can't move on. Especially when she stumbles upon a dead girl with the same bloody puncture wounds as her parents-and someone follows her home. Left with no one who believes her, Charley breaks into the abandoned facility where her father once worked, desperate to find the truth. But she's not the only one after answers. Victor, a handsome vampire, is there to convince her that not only is she perfectly sane, but he's the only one that can save her from those who seek to abuse her connection to the government's experiments. However, when Victor knows details about her parents' death that only the murderer could, Charley will need to learn to trust herself, no matter how crazy her thoughts may seem. If she doesn't, she'll go from counting bodies to counting her last heartbeats...one...two...three...nothing. "Maybe someone heard my screams or maybe the reaper wears combat boots..."
