About this ebook
A shadow that can't be caught. A client who can't be trusted. And a hunter who never walks away — no matter the cost. Artemis Blackwell doesn't do blind faith — not in clients, not in contracts, and definitely not in anonymous voices promising fifty thousand dollars for a job that sounds just a little too clean. But when the target is a shadow-manipulating shapeshifter and the payday is hard to ignore, she gears up, guns out, and rides straight into the wilderness anyway. That's what hunters do. What she finds isn't a simple capture job. A crumbling mansion soaked in dark energy, creatures that dissolve into smoke, a hidden journal detailing depraved experiments on supernatural beings, and a rival hunter — the infuriatingly capable Declan Reed — already circling the same mark. Someone set this trap deliberately. Someone wanted her stumbling blind through the dark. And the deeper Artemis pushes into the forest, the more she suspects her mysterious client Mr. Smith isn't just withholding information — he's weaponizing it against her. With uneasy alliances forged from necessity, a trail that keeps going cold, and something ancient and dangerous watching from the shadows, the real question isn't whether Artemis can catch her mark — it's whether she'll survive long enough to figure out who she's truly hunting for.

About the author
Caryssa Cole writes paranormal romance, urban fantasy, and romance novels, and has dreamed of magical, mysterious worlds since childhood. A lifelong fan of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, she believes that in every shadow lies a glimmer of light (and a good deal of sarcasm). She lives with her husband, two teenage sons, and two adopted cats in a climate far too hot for a full Gothic aesthetic—though she still dreams of black coats and heavy boots. Caryssa loves Tarot, even if the cards don't always reciprocate. In her books, she seeks emotion, magic, and characters who can entertain and move even the darkest night.
