In a universe where assassins make the law, everyone lives in fear — except for Syn. Born of an illicit scandal that once rocked a dynasty, he always knew how to survive on the bloodthirsty streets. But that was then, and the future is now...

Syn was raised as a tech-thief until his livelihood uncovered a truth that could end his life. He tried to destroy the evidence, and has been on the run ever since. Now trained as an assassin, he allows no one to threaten him. Ever. He is the darkness that swallows his enemies whole.

Shahara Dagan is the best bounty hunter in the universe. When Syn comes back on the radar, she’s the only one who can bring him to justice. There’s only one problem: Syn is a close family friend who’s helped out the Dagans countless times. But if she saves him, both of their lives will be on the line. Is Syn’s protection worth the risk? The only hope Shahara has is to find the evidence he buried long ago. Now it’s kill or be killed — and they, the predators, have just become the hunted...

Sherrilyn Kenyon

Sherrilyn Kenyon is a name that resonates deeply within the realm of paranormal romance and urban fantasy. Known for her vivid world-building and complex characters, Kenyon has captivated millions with her Dark-Hunter series, a collection that blends mythology, romance, and action in a way that keeps readers hooked page after page. Her books are filled with tortured heroes, strong heroines, and stories that blur the lines between the supernatural and the human experience, creating a world both dark and mesmerizing.

Born in the southern United States, Sherrilyn’s love of stories and mythology began early. Growing up surrounded by rich folklore, her imagination was nourished with tales of gods, demons, and the eternal struggle between good and evil. This childhood foundation inspired a career filled with narratives that are not only fantastical but also steeped in deep emotional journeys, tackling themes of redemption, love, and the often painful nature of the human heart.

What sets Kenyon apart in the world of paranormal fiction is her ability to make readers feel deeply connected to her characters. Her heroes and heroines, often facing extraordinary challenges, are also profoundly relatable, each one struggling with their own inner demons, fears, and desires. This emotional depth, paired with action-packed plots and steamy romance, has earned her a devoted fanbase that spans the globe.

Kenyon’s career skyrocketed with the success of her Dark-Hunter series, a collection that has grown to include dozens of books, graphic novels, and spin-offs. These stories explore a world where ancient gods walk among us, and the line between good and evil is constantly shifting. Her ability to seamlessly blend mythological references with contemporary settings has garnered widespread acclaim, establishing her as a leading voice in the paranormal romance genre.

Beyond her Dark-Hunter world, Kenyon has also explored other universes in her Chronicles of Nick and The League series, where she continues to develop intricate worlds and complex characters. But what makes her work truly stand out is the emotional resonance that underpins it all. Whether it’s the love between her protagonists or their journeys of personal growth, there’s a palpable heart to her writing that readers can’t help but connect with.

In addition to her literary success, Sherrilyn has received numerous accolades and recognitions, with several of her books hitting best-seller lists and achieving critical acclaim. Yet despite the fame, she remains grounded in her mission to tell stories that offer an escape while simultaneously touching on the struggles and triumphs of the human spirit.

Known for her strong, relatable characters and her refusal to shy away from the darker aspects of life and love, Sherrilyn Kenyon continues to build worlds that fans eagerly return to time and again. As she once said, “The best stories are the ones that speak to your heart,” and through her ever-expanding universe, she has certainly proven that her storytelling does just that.

Sherrilyn Kenyon also writes under the pseudonym of Kinley MacGregor.
