“… a distinctive twist from traditional vampire lore.” -- ParanormalRomance.org

Nothing is going well for Alek Dragovich, enforcer for the Undead. His position in the Directorate is in jeopardy, but he has little interest in the Directorate's schemes until someone tries to kill him.

Dhampir Marya Jaks, the offspring of a vampire and his mortal wife, can detect vampires, thereby making her a perfect vampire killer. When Marya learns that Drago has deemed her a threat to the vampire community and has ordered her termination, she strikes back.

Drago, the hunter, has become the hunted. But is it Marya who wants him dead… or another mysterious power-hungry vampire?
