“The poets say love and hate stem from the same vine of passion.”
Left orphaned at the age of eight by the cruel occupation of demons in her homeland, Onora has committed her life to keeping that evil from ever returning. She’s climbed to the top of the ranks of the Hunter’s Guild, specially training to fight against the stronger, more magical beings that would oppress humans. She’s held fast to her oaths–her honor never wavering and her hatred of demons steadfast as always.
Except, maybe, for Lord Dryston.
Dryston has been lord of the demons for ten years, the responsibility thrust on him at a young age. He’s fought hard to undo the damage done by the Cruel Lord before him, hitting hurdle after hurdle along the way. When a group of demon hunters arrive in town, he knows it can only spell trouble. Yet he can’t wrench his attention away from Lieutenant Onora–beautiful, unyielding, and at least slightly hostile towards him.
But what starts out as harmless flirtation turns into something deadly when Dryston is the number one suspect of a heinous crime committed against humans. Taken in for trial, he’s certain death awaits him–unless Onora can help him escape.
