Rowan Summerwaite is no ordinary woman. Raised at the
knee of The First and honed into a weapon by the Hunter
Corporation, she wields ancient knowledge from the Goddess
Brigid…and is newly married to a powerful Vampire
scion.
Though she'd hoped the deadly events in
Venice would end the threat to The Treaty she is sworn to
protect, Rowan found evidence of a grander conspiracy to
destroy the fragile peace that holds humans, Vampires and
those with magic back from war. A war that would only hurt
the weakest and destabilize the world as we know
it.
It's not so much that someone ordered her
assassination that makes her angry—people try to kill her
all the time—as it is the risks those she cares for,
especially her new husband, now face. Clive Stewart has
never tried to pen Rowan in or control her choices. He has
his own fires to put out now that he's married to the most
powerful non-Vampire in their world, and Rowan knows it's a
challenge to support her the way she needs while not being
too much or not enough.
The organization that gave
her a purpose, a home, roots and a path when she'd run from
The Keep at seventeen has betrayed her. Now, instead of on a
much-anticipated honeymoon, Rowan is in London gathering her
allies and the evidence necessary to drive out the rot
within Hunter Corp. and expose whoever is at the
top.
Rowan is a predator and this threat is prey.
She'll burn it down and salt the earth afterward. On her terms.
