When the hunter becomes the hunted… For the past five years Demi Mephisto has hunted the demons who injured her mother and forced her to take her mother’s place in the Nightshade Guild. A position of honor she expected to require minimal involvement, until now. As one of the mages sworn to protect the Elven Princess Ameria, Demi bonds immediately with the youngster over a shared loss of parents. The only problem is the demons she tracked are now after her and her charge. To keep the princess safe, she may have to turn to the last person she should even ask, her ex. An unwelcome surprise on her doorstep… Adrian Thorn isn’t the most traditional vampire, but when the vampiric queen tasks him with an assignment he’s blood bound to do as she commands. Leading him straight to the one woman he swore he’d never get involved with again. Demi needs his help to protect a little girl from the very demons she’s hunted for years. To save the world… With enemies on all sides, Demi’s not sure she should trust Adrian completely, but the princess does. When forced proximity brings back old feelings, battling dark enemies won’t be the only things Demi and Adrian have to fight against. Especially when Adrian’s true mission endangers the princess she’s swore to protect.
