Karen Montgomery was an ordinary woman until she stumbled into the extraordinary… A bargain with elves worth its weight in gold. A plague of sinister ladybugs. Rogue vampire hunters, including one who tries to turn over a new leaf–with disastrous consequences. A ghostly huntsman of the Wild Hunt wishing for redemption. Karen’s life will never be the same again.

One wrong turn sends Karen down a road that shouldn’t exist, to the site of an old accident and an even older mystery. With reformed vampire hunter Russell Moore’s help, Karen finds the key to the mystery. But Russ keeps his own secrets…some of which are deadly.

When old friends from Russ’ past come to call, Karen realizes his secrets might just mean his doom. After a terrible incident three years ago, before Karen met him, Russ wants only to live the rest of his life quietly in Beth-Hill. But his secret might not allow him the new lease on life Russ longs for.
