Jaden MacNaughton has been raised to do one thing—kill vampires. It's her life’s work to hunt down the guilty creatures of the night and bring their victims justice. And, being a dhampir, she is better matched to deal with them than a mere mortal. Never has she doubted her purpose in life or the sacrifices she’s had to make, until the night a mission went terribly wrong.

Tyr is a Dark Knight, a member of an elite group of vampiric punishers so secretive only the tribal elders know of their existence. When it is learned Jaden unjustly killed the vampire Bhaltair, he is sent to judge her. However, when he meets the beautiful dhampir, he is not prepared to find the hunter sick of the hunt. Tired of feeling the emotions of those around her, Jaden is searching for peace. And death is the only peace she can know.
