In a city where beauty and shadows live side by side, vampires walk among nobles and ordinary citizens alike. Melody is a fearless, flamboyant vampire hunter with a talent for getting herself into trouble. Armed with a rapier and almost reckless confidence, she hunts the creatures of the night alongside Jack, her calm and deadly partner. But Melody is hiding a dangerous secret—one that could turn the hunters against her. As the pair become entangled in vampire politics, ancient rivalries, and the schemes of the aristocratic vampire Viktor, the line between hunter and prey begins to disappear. Some monsters hide in the shadows. Others hunt them.
