Enter New York Times bestselling author Nalini Singh’s breathtakingly passionate Guild Hunter world with the story of a woman who isn’t a vampire or an angel... or human...

Once a broken girl known as Sorrow, Holly Chang now prowls the shadowy gray underground of the city for the angels. But it’s not her winged allies who make her a wanted woman, rather the unknown power coursing through her veins. Brutalized by an insane archangel, she was left with the bloodlust of a vampire, the ability to mesmerize her prey, and a poisonous bite.

Now someone has put a bounty on her head...

Venom is one of the Seven, Archangel Raphael’s private guard, and a man as infuriating as he is seductive. A centuries-old vampire, his fangs dispense a poison deadlier than Holly’s. But even if Venom can protect Holly from those hunting her, he might not be able to save himself... because the strange, violent power inside Holly is awakening...

No one is safe.

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.
