A hidden war rages between immortal predators, and humanity is caught in the middle.

The Cynn Cruors and the Scatha Cruors are warriors born of human, vampire, and werewolf blood, locked in a conflict that has endured for centuries. One side fights to protect the world, while the other seeks to enslave it.

Finn Qualtrough is a Cynn Cruor sniper with one purpose: to find and destroy Dac Valerian, the Scatha leader responsible for the slaughter of his family.

When his hunt leads him to three Scatha warriors, Finn expects violence. What he does not expect is the woman who crosses his path.

Eirene Spence is human, brilliant, and wholly unprepared for the world she has stumbled into. When she becomes entangled with the Scatha Cruors, she should not survive. Instead, she is saved by a man who is as dangerous as the creatures hunting her.

The moment Finn touches her, something shifts. Protecting her is no longer a choice but an instinct he cannot ignore, a need that threatens to consume everything he has fought for.

Eirene does not understand the danger closing in around her, only that the man who saved her awakens something within her that she cannot explain and cannot resist.

But her connection to one of her clients puts her directly in Dac Valerian's path, turning her into a target in a war she cannot comprehend.

Now, Finn must protect her while pursuing the vengeance that has defined his life, knowing that keeping her alive may cost him everything.

Editorial Reviews

I loved how the Cynn Cruor are a new breed of immortal, neither one thing nor another. I always wonder how authors come up with their ideas and this one, for me, was pure genius. -Tangents and Tissues Book Blog

Isobelle's writing voice is smooth as fine wine, slides through the cells like sweet warm caramel, and is as hot as the red coals in the bottom of a firepit. - Natasza Waters, RONE Awardee and Bestselling Author of A Warrior's Challenge Series

I found this story to be really well written and actually quite an easy read considering it's heavy on the paranormal aspect. The sex scenes were absolutely scorching, like seriously, Finn and Eireen set the freaking pages ablaze! - Romance Readers Retreat

I rate this with five stars because it is original, creative, extensive in detail and captivating. - Lauren Jones, Turning Another Page Book Blog

The Cynn Cruors are real! I don't read many paranormal books but this first book in the series, and the first I've read from the lovely Isobelle Cate, has completely sucked me in particularly the fact it has vampire/werewolves. - Amazon Reviewer
