As a forbidden half-vampire hiding behind her public mage persona, Glory has spent her life trying not to draw attention to herself. When the king orders her to enlist the help of a roguish treasure hunter to track down a life-saving amulet, Glory is terrified. Four weeks alone with a demon whose career is to sniff out secrets is asking for her destruction. She is determined not to fall for his charms. Or his smile. Or the enticing smell of his blood.
Cammon is no more thrilled about the company than Glory is. The mage is a buttoned-up stick-in-the-mud. But the king has promised to help him end his exile and resume his place as heir to his father’s throne, so he can’t say no. But he’ll keep his distance from Glory, even if her passion for the hunt rivals his and the taste of her emotions is exquisite.
To find the amulet, Glory and Cammon must work together to solve a series of death-defying puzzles across shifter-claimed forests, giant-filled valleys, and dragon-owned mountains. With every trial they face, pieces of their hearts are laid bare, secrets are revealed, and new desires are awakened.
Inspired by the kiss at the end of The Mummy and the waterfall jump in Romancing the Stone, A Hunt Bound in Blood is packed with adventure, banter, authentic characters, and spice.
