Three hundred years ago, young hunter Noah Hayes stormed an old church and was bitten by Lucien Blackthorne, the terrifying vampire progenitor. The mark he left—a black rose blooming beneath Noah’s skin—made Noah immortal, awakened his supernatural sight, and bound their fates together.
In modern Ravenport, Noah runs Nightwalker Agency, solving bizarre cases for witches, wolves, sirens, ghosts, and other creatures hiding in the city. When Lucien returns, arrogant, possessive, and dangerously protective, Noah wants him gone. But a trail of black mist, cursed relics, and manipulated monsters forces them into an uneasy alliance.
As enemies become partners and partners become lovers, Noah uncovers the truth behind his mother Elena’s death, the hunter order’s lies, and the ancient hate being harvested by the elegant villain Cassian Voss. With Lucien’s black flame, Noah’s blue fire, and a bond they choose instead of fear, they unite hunters and monsters for a final battle beneath the church where it all began.
