I'm Janie, seventeen, and hunting the undead isn't a choice-it's my inheritance.
The streets of Baltimore are my battlefield, and my Cherokee bloodline made sure I was trained for one rule above all else:
Never trust the undead.
That lesson kept me alive.
The second one-love isn't worth the risk-I taught myself after my father died.
Both rules were easy to follow... until Kai.
I was trained to hunt hybrids like him. Or at least, I thought I was. Kai doesn't fit the rules. He bleeds like a human. Feels like one. And the closer I get, the harder it is to decide whether he's my enemy-or something far more dangerous.
Because the truth about Kai isn't just mysterious.
It's terrifying.
The deeper I dig into his past, the more I realize the evil stalking Baltimore isn't the only thing I should fear. There's a secret Kai is desperate to keep buried-one that could destroy everything I've been trained to protect.
Especially if I fall for him...
