SHE HUNTS THE REALM'S MOST DANGEROUS GAME. HER FEES ARE EXORBITANT. SHE'S WORTH EVERY COIN SHE RECEIVES. OR IS SHE?

Magiere has earned a reputation as the most formidable vampire slayer in the land. Villagers far and wide welcome her with both awe and disdain, grateful to her for ridding their towns of the undead menace, but finding themselves made poorer for their salvation.

For Magiere has tome to the attention of a trio of powerful and dangerous vampires who recognize her true identity--and who fear the birthright that flows through her veins. And they will stop at nothing to keep Magiere from fulfilling her destiny....
