His mere presence puts her safety in jeopardy. She is disguised as someone he'd never fall for.
The Raiders in New Wiltshire have spread, terrorizing and pillaging the surrounding cities. One cold winter night, Sydney Irvin, an orphan who is tormented by the loss of her family and striving for survival, encounters the enigmatic and dangerous James Dante. Known as the Nocturnal Hunter, he is the city's most threatening and fatal tracker, disguised as a crime lord during the daytime and a lone hunter by night. When Sydney's life collides with his, she becomes embroiled in Dante's world of betrayals and dangerous lies.
However, unbeknownst to Dante, she has been charged with the task of uncovering information about his criminal operations. And when Sydney is targeted by a deadly Lord, one who is bent on destroying her, she may just be the line between the hunted and the hunter.
