Dominica Salvatore has spent her life striking fear into the hearts of vampires. Known as the Reaper, she is a fearless warrior who has made it her mission to rid the world of as many vampires as possible. She is deadly with her set of ring daggers, and takes no
prisoners when it comes to confronting bloodsuckers that lurk in the night. All except
one...

Xavier Valin has seen many vampire kings come and go. At over four hundred years old, he was even offered the chance to rule, but being tied down without the freedom to live as he chooses was too much for him to bear.
However, he takes great pleasure in joining the fight against the vampire hunters as the war between these two enemies
reaches a fever pitch. He's always on the lookout for the one hunter who makes his blood boil, Dominica, or Little Deadly, as he calls her. He's had one opportunity to taste her blood, and he can't wait for the next.

Dominica and Xavier are thrown into each other's trajectories once more as deception runs rampant through the hunter and vampire ranks. The chemistry between them is undeniable, but giving in to their passions means turning their backs on their respective clans. The final nail in the coffin comes when they are given the ultimate command to
kill one another...or die trying.
