Six months have passed since Célie Tremblay took her sacred vows and joined the ranks of the Chasseurs as their first huntswoman. With her fiancé, Jean Luc, as captain, she is determined to find her foothold in her new role and protect Belterra after she failed to protect her sister. But whispers from the past still haunt her, and her fear of the dark turns every shadow into a foe.  But Célie has new reason to fear the dark because someone—something—is coming for her, leaving bodies in its wake, each one decorated with twin puncture wounds in its throat. And the closer he gets to her, the more tempted Célie feels to give in to his dark hungers—and her own.
