Naasir is the most feral of the powerful group of vampires and angels known as the Seven, his loyalty pledged to the Archangel Raphael. When rumors surface of a plot to murder the former Archangel of Persia, now lost in the Sleep of the Ancients, Naasir is dispatched to find him. For only he possesses the tracking skills required — those more common to predatory animals than to man.

Enlisted to accompany Naasir, Andromeda, a young angelic scholar with dangerous secrets, is fascinated by his nature — at once playful and brilliant, sensual and brutal. As they race to find the Sleeping archangel before it’s too late, Naasir will force her to question all she knows... and tempt her to walk into the magnificent, feral darkness of his world. But first they must survive an enemy vicious enough to shatter the greatest taboo of the angelic race and plunge the world into a screaming nightmare...

Guild Hunter

The series

Full series details →

High above the cities, where skyscrapers pierce the clouds and angels cast long shadows over mortal streets, power is more than a title—it’s a force that can shape or shatter the world. In this hauntingly seductive series, ancient immortals rule from celestial heights, vampires serve at their whim, and those who dare to rebel are hunted by one of their own.

Read full series description

The world of Guild Hunter hums with tension—between heaven and earth, justice and obedience, desire and duty. At its center is Elena Deveraux, a fiercely independent guild hunter skilled in tracking rogue vampires. But when she’s summoned by the Archangel of New York, a being whose beauty is as lethal as his power, she finds herself dragged into a realm of brutal politics, unearthly danger, and forbidden attraction. What begins as a mission quickly unravels into something far more personal—and infinitely more perilous.

With each installment, the series deepens its mythology: archangels who teeter on the brink of madness, immortals who have forgotten how to feel, and the fragile threads of humanity that hold them all together. It’s a world where violence is etched into eternity, but love—raw, relentless, and hard-won—may be the most transformative power of all.

Known for its lyrical prose, razor-edged suspense, and emotionally charged romance, this dark fantasy saga has captivated a global audience. The storytelling doesn’t just explore the supernatural—it delves into grief, identity, sacrifice, and what it means to be both monstrous and deeply human.

Step into a series where angels bleed, vampires fear, and hunters don’t always walk away whole. Some stories don’t just raise the stakes—they rewrite the rules.
