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.
