In a world where Lycans, and Hunters are sworn enemies, Lilith Blackheart, a powerful hunter, is assigned with one mission; seduce the Lycan King, make him fall in love, and destroy him. If she fails, she loses her claim to the Blackheart throne.
Lilith has always known what she was from a young age; a hunter forged to hunt and kill Lycan, and werewolves. But everything took a different turn when she met him. When she discovers that the Lycan King, Maverick is her fated mate.
As she utilized the mating bond to manipulate him, Lilith began to noticed that her own blackened heart was betraying her. With every touch, the line between duty and desire begins to blur, and she realizes that she's not only at the verge of losing her heart but also her life—if she dares to fail duty again.

I started to tug the bond, but a flicker of warning in his eyes cautioned me against it. His features hardened, the colour slowly draining from his face and being replaced with a dark look.


I took a step backward. But when he mirrored mine, I continued to retreat until my back collided with the wall. I was trapped. I could slowly trace his Lycan features beginning to emerge as he growled. The urge to summon my sword and cut him down was overwhelming, yet I didn't.


"Do you really think you could run away after what you did?"


"What?" My brows furrowed in confusion. What does he mean?


If looks could kill, I would be lying dead from Maverick's glare by now.


"You know very well what I mean, Lilith," he answered. "You sent those hunters after Davina, didn't you?"
