aders who enjoy slow-burn romances. It includes vampires, witches, elemental magic and steamy scenes. Other tropes in the series include fated mates, past lives, kidnapping, a villain obsessed with the heroine, and forbidden love.

As his obsession grows, Maurice becomes more desperate. He won't stop until Mercy is his once again. But the hunted has become the hunter, ready for its prey.

Mercy is barely holding on after her coven was killed in an act of ultimate sacrifice. But beyond the veil of death, Caleb opens a path for Mercy to discover a source of ancient power that had revived her after her first death on Gallows Hill in 1692.

To find the magic she needs to resurrect her coven, Mercy and Dorian journey to a hidden island and uncover long-buried secrets from an ancient coven who practices magic with ties to beyond the grave. Mercy and Dorian's love grows stronger, and their destiny as fated mates becomes their power in a world rife with uncertainty.

Meanwhile, Maurice continues to plot his conquest of the human world. He'll not stop until every mortal is bowing to his will. While he toys with Mercy, his obsession grows to a dangerous level, and ultimately, it may be his undoing.

As Maurice's plans unfold, the worlds of magic will collide, and if Mercy and her allies don't stop him, the Devil will rise and consume them all in a world of shadow and fire.

"The perfect ending to the perfect story. Hunted is the masterful finale of Mercy's journey. Bloodcurdling, shocking, and hotter. D.L. Blade does not cease to amaze."

Laura M. Morales, editor of The Zorah Series
