An instant New York Times and Indiebound Bestseller! This dark and thrilling vampire romance-set in the world of the New York Times bestselling Serpent & Dove series-is perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas! Celie Tremblay has always been a good girl- kind and beautiful, a daughter of whom every parent would be proud. She surprises the entire kingdom when she defies tradition to become the first huntswoman-including her new captain and fiance, Jean Luc, who rules the huntsmen with an iron fist. He isn't the only one concerned for Celie's safety, however. Though her friends try to protect her from the horrors of her past, mysterious whispers still haunt her, and a new evil is rising in Belterra-leaving bodies in its wake, each one drained of blood. Determined to prove herself in her new role, Celie tracks the killer to the lair of Les eternals-ancient creatures only spoken about in nursery rhymes-and catches the attention of their king, a monster who hides his plans for her behind beautiful words and sharp smiles. Now Celie has new reason to fear the dark because the closer he gets, the more tempted she feels to give in to his dark hunger-and her own.
