Amazon warrior Anastasia Duras has spent her entire life training for one thing: to hunt and kill blood–drinking Darklings who refuse to follow the Karpaty Council's rule. Her first mission sends her after a newly turned vampire gone rogue – and into the path of sexy Darkling Jasper Nagorsky.

Jasper is on a mission of his own, one that clashes with Anastasia's – but their passionate confrontations arouse a hunger in him that has nothing to do with the bloodlust. Yet dalliances between Darklings and humans are forbidden by the Council. Jasper broke this rule once before and was barely allowed to live. Is their passion worth risking death a second time?
