"I couldn't help but fall asleep in comfort in the arms of a vampire; a vampire that would protect me tonight and return to being my enemy I hunt tomorrow." Anya, a fierce Beynok warrior finds herself in the depths of her enemies' underground world she never imagined existed. Beynoks are a powerful complicated race bred to secretly protect humanity by hunting down and destroying all supernatural beings. With her heart filled with unthinkable love for her vampire lover, Sorin, she struggles with the paralyzing idea not all supernatural beings are evil and they, too, need protecting from a war that is quickly unraveling. Viewing her enemies differently with understanding and compassion, Anya is now crushed with the knowledge that she heavily influences the future survival of her own race, supernaturals, and humanity.
