Upon awaking in present day, I was told my mate died years ago.
The news crushed me, but the war we’re fighting is too important to forfeit my life…right now.
I function on autopilot despite the support of my hunter brothers, taking life one night at a time until we can end this war and I can return to the once-dark sleep that claimed me.

But on a solo hunt, I almost meet death much sooner than planned. Overrun by bloodmad vampires, I’m saved by another hunter on their trail…no, a huntress.
My mate.

Talia Ashcroft is the love of my life, but she’s not the same girl I was forced to leave behind.
She’s a lethal huntress, stronger and more powerful than I remember, not to mention as gorgeous as ever. Years of separation did nothing to tame the chemistry between us, and I’m elated that fate has given us a second chance.

There’s only one problem.
She hates me.
I broke her heart centuries ago, and she has no intention of giving it to me again.

But fate has brought us together as we work to capture a common enemy, and I’m not going to waste this chance to make amends.
Losing her is the biggest regret of my existence.
And I’ll do whatever it takes to prove to her that I’ll never choose duty over her again…
Even if it means letting go of the key to winning this war.
