Ciaran Graves is the Hunter. Her job is to get rid of the monsters who threaten the human's way of life. All she wants is to kill the bad guys and get paid... except a certain Vampire is always getting in the way.
Michael Moretti the Vampire Assassin. His job is to make sure the Vamps stay on top of the food chain by any means necessary and with addiction to violence, blood, and sex he finds himself in Ciaran's path more often than not.
Their hate for each other is palpable but when a hit is put out on both of them, they reluctantly join forces to find out who wants them dead.
Can they survive their bounties, or will they kill each other first?

Now he's not just running from the darkness... he is the darkness.

In a new city, Sam is hunted on all sides by those who slay things like him without mercy. Sam hides among them, searching for answers while he assists them with trying to track something that is hiding right under their noses. But as he gets closer to their secrets, and their daughter, his own secrets risk coming out. His curse attracts even greater threats that rest beneath the city, in a dark, hidden place, that might destroy them all. When he was still human, he thought monsters were myths... legends.
