"To keep you known, our souls Here tie. Hold my Heart and dare not die." Hunters are meant to slay monsters, but when Man rejects his soul, a beast he becomes.

A year has passed since Lisa Rae Robbie won the Paragon Games and told all the worlds that she is the famed Agaped Bearer-the possessor of the most powerful magic in existence. Her journey as a Kingdom Hunter and phantasmal flame wielder has begun on planet Kalm, but something bigger has taken precedence: love. Lisa is falling for her best friend, Caelum, only his father is King... and he does not approve.

As Lisa begins her final Hunter exam, the Dawning, love drives her and Prince Caelum down a road of family strife, where they collide with a band of brokenhearted brothers in need of the Agaped's help. Lisa hopes that if they can put aside their differences to rid the brothers' land of monsters, the King will gain new allies and see how well she and Caelum work together.

But dark magic stirs in the shadows. Now, a simple Hunter quest turns into a war fueled on hidden secrets and a royal grudge... and Lisa is in the eye of the starblooded storm.
