[not edited! Pls don't mind the typos! Thank you!] Ambrosia died a monster. Not the kind under children's beds-but the kind of which people whispered at vampire courts in fear, the one feared for the wars she'd ceased and the lines she'd crossed. Then death did something no hunter ever could: it stopped her. But fate, ever the gambler, gives her a wild card. One chance. One choice. Live again-as the same pointy-toothed legend. or as a human, raw and mortal. She accepts the unknown. No more bloodlust. No more claws. Only a fragile form, a heartbeat she does not trust, and a world brighter, noisier, and incredibly more breakable than she remembers. Now human, she stumbles into a world that is peculiarly normal and crazy-beyond-belief beautiful. There's substance to every bruise, heat in touch, and a pulse that will not quiet. She is no longer the hunter. She's running this time. Bleeding. Feeling. But ghosts remember. Enemies prowl. And the truth she thought entombed? It scratches back with a smile. Strange disappearing acts, shared faces in odd places, and an unwilling past that refuses to remain concealed begin to close in. Old enemies don't care that she bleeds now. They've come for what she knows, for who she used to be- and for who she might yet be. She's outnumbered, outgunned, and-for the first time-afraid. Because when you trade immortality, the stakes are always on the line. And when familiar perils converge and new loyalties take their place, Ambrosia finds the deadliest wars are not always fought with claws- But with chances taken, stakes laid, and fangs that never let go.

"So." She mused, sliding one black nail across her lip in a sensual caress as she stared at me with eyes the color of molten gold. "You are the one they call Huntress." Disregarding the pain in my side from the most recent beating, I straightened my shoulders and stood tall, my chin jutting out in defiance. "Yes." "Mm." Those intriguing eyes watched me from her languid position on the throne. "But, you are not just a huntress, are you?" I allowed the predatory instincts I usually worked so hard to keep hidden, to surface, feeling the burning of my eyes and shifting of bones under my skin. A slow grin slid across my face as my beast stared back at her through my human skin. The Queen didn't react to my sudden change of character, instead choosing to lean forward in interest. "How fascinating." • Once, the world was ruled by humans and technology. They were governed by a president that made choices for all. Vampires, werewolves alike hid their existence from the humans for centuries, blending in as a whole. Now, they hid no more. States are now territories governed by kings and queens, humans are regarded and used for no more than their blood and body before they are discarded and forgotten. Werewolves and vampires were at war, and it was said that the wolves had all been but snuffed out, save for one. When Adira is captured while hunting outside her homeland, she is unexpectedly sold to the Queen in the North. Wolf blood is sacred, it is said to hold inexplainable powers, and as the only wolf-borne known to humans and vampires alike, Adira fears for her life. Thrown into a world governed by everything she's been trained to hate, Adira fights for her rightful place in the world, a seat at the Queen's side. But proving her worth won't be easy, the price for failure is her life.
