Shelby Mahurin

"Six months have passed since Célie 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 help protect Belterra after she failed to protect her sister. But whispers from the past still haunt her, and a new evil is rising -- leaving bodies in its wake, each one decorated with twin puncture wounds in its throat. Despite how her friends and fiancé have tried to shield her from the darkness, their magic, swords, and even the light of the endless candles they provide cannot keep her safe from a monster that hides behind beautiful words and sharp smiles. Now Célie has new reason to fear the dark because something -- some one -- is coming for her. And the closer he gets, the more tempted Célie feels to give in to his dark hungers -- and her own." --Book jacket
