You are cordially invited to the hunt. Bring your own weapon.

The first instalment of the heart-pounding, richly imagined romantasy duology from the New York Times bestselling author of To Kill a Shadow.

Charlie Pierce and Jack Slade are the heirs to rival Collector families. Quiet and smart, Charlie has always been underestimated. That is, until she is stuck with her arch nemesis and polar opposite, Jack, after they are separated from their peers on their first hunt in the dangerous Spiritwoods. As they search for powerful relics of fallen gods, they soon discover it is not the magic they have to fear but their fellow heirs.

About the Author

Katherine Quinn is an adult and young adult fantasy romance author. She graduated from the University of Central Florida with a degree in psychology. She resides in Houston with her husband and three children. Her love for writing began after reading her first fantasy series, Song of the Lioness, by Tamora Pierce. After that, she wanted nothing more than to be a dagger-wielding heroine. Unfortunately, it's frowned upon to give a child a dagger, so she settled on writing about daring adventures instead. Coffee is her true love, and she believes anything can be fixed with Starbucks and dark humour.
