***EDITOR'S PICK***
Long ago, infamous vampire Enforcer Jasen Hawthorne was merely a man who loved a woman. On one tragic day, they were both brutally slain ... only he woke up again, facing eternity alone. So he embraced his rage and became the force feared by even the monsters.
When the Vampire Queen's estranged, bitter brother came forward with plans to dethrone her and destabilize all of vampire society, it fell on Jasen to find and eliminate him. But defeating the Original vampire is easier said than done, and when Jasen realizes the scope of the rising rebellion around him, he has little choice but to accept the help of an unlikely ally.
Indisputably the strongest water witch of her time, Rhea has long been ostracized from her community. She's the witch her superiors call in when a situation is too dire for anyone else. This is why she was sent to Seattle, to investigate and put a stop to a string of vampire attacks. But she could never have anticipated the scope of the battle ahead, or everything it would dredge up.
Jasen and Rhea have to put aside their inherent differences and find a way to work together if they're going to defeat their ancient enemy. What neither of them anticipated was the connection that already bound them, and just how significant the fight against the Original would become. If they survive when the dust settles, they'll have choices to make that will change more than just their lives.
