In the war against vampires, mankind has only one hope: The Dark-Hunters.
Ancient warriors who died of brutal betrayal, the Dark-Hunters have sworn
themselves into the service of the goddess Artemis to protect us. It’s a pact
with pretty good perks — immortality, power, psychic abilities, wealth and a
cool wardrobe. But it comes with a few drawbacks: fatal sun poisoning and a new,
irreparable dental problem. But aside from the fangs and nocturnal lifestyle,
it’s not so bad. Until Kyrian meets the most frightening thing imaginable: an
accountant who’s being hunted by one of the most lethal vampires out there. (C:
