Sawyer Caldwell was the worst thing that ever happened to me… until he wasn’t.
Edie Fifteen years ago, Sawyer Caldwell murdered four people—but left me alive. Now, on the run from my abusive ex, the dense Appalachian forest where I once escaped a killer’s grasp is the only place I feel safe. Except someone’s lurking in those trees. Watching me. Waiting. It can’t be Sawyer Caldwell. He’s dead. Shot by the police. So who’s hunting me in the woods—And why do I wish it’s the serial killer who let me live? Sawyer She’s my perfect prey. The one I chase and chase and never kill. Fifteen years after my first death, I never thought I’d see her again. But when I catch her scent on the wind, I know someone’s looking out for me. Not God. Maybe the devil. What I do know is that I won’t waste my second chance at making her mine. No matter who I have to hurt or who I have to kill—This Hunter will finally catch his quarry.

He says he’s not allowed to kill me. So what’s he going to do to me instead?
Jaxon
When I first saw Charlotte, I thought she was a victim, marked by my gods for the slaughter. But then it becomes very clear that the gods have other things in mind for her. I just don’t know what. So I keep her alive. And I try to keep my distance. But something keeps drawing me toward her. A yearning I can’t deny. And neither, it seems, can she.

2025
I thought he was my guiding light. But what if he’s led me into darkness?
Mercy
I devoted my entire life to the Church of the Well—and its leader. But then death came to our community. And then
he

me
with God’s light. And for the first time, I can feel my devotion slipping.
Ambrose
It was supposed to be easy. I just needed to infiltrate a cult for a few days, get access to information that would help a friend, and maybe spread some mayhem if I had the time. But I didn’t account for Mercy Hendricks, the first human woman to catch my eye in two hundred years. I’m a killer. I don’t save people. So why do I want to save her?
