A corrupt vampire king. His rebellious heir. And the girl who will save the realm from monsters. Eighteen-year-old Charlotte Thorne survived the destruction of her homeland, the murder of her family, and the horrifying reign of vampires with nothing more than a crossbow and her wits. After years of evading the bloodsuckers, she finally falls prey to a trap set by the Vampire Prince himself. Captured and imprisoned, Charlotte will be sacrificed to the Hunt: an annual game of fear and feast attended by the most powerful vampires in the realm. No human has ever survived. But no human is like Charlotte Thorne.
