Scáil is a fierce and respected mercenary who is known for handling even the deadliest of beasts for the people all across the land. She has been hunted for years by the Solas coven who viciously rose into power when she was just fifteen, and has a bounty on her head that is larger than any of the other criminals or beasts she hunts. The people don’t dare turn her in though, or they’ll be left to their own defenses against the creatures of the night that she spends most of her days fighting for them. She’s earned their respect, and for the most part they ignore the wanted posters that are plastered about the villages by the Solas magisters. They don't know why she is wanted by Solas, or that she is far more than just an ordinary mercenary.
She finds herself left at the mercy of an elder vampire who steps in to save her when she’s caught by a Solas mercenary after taking down a Chimera for a village named Ashbourne. They strike a bargain and she agrees to return to his manor where he and several of his death dealers are shocked to discover her true identity and what this may mean for the Oíche coven as a whole.
Follow along on all of their adventures together in this riveting vampire and witch romantasy where the fierce mercenary falls for the alluring elder as they work through the intricacies of the issues that led to the Solas coven rising to power and try to rebalance the hierarchy of the covens so that they don’t have to hide in the shadows any longer.
