Tainted (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781960696052)

The Kaofi Hunters tell you that Kaofi are corrupted vermin in this world, but they don't tell you can just as effortlessly fall in love with one.

Just like Mya does.

Mya was born a Hanti, or Kaofi Hunter. Adopted by a regular human. Raised normal. Given attainable expectations-none of which she meets. Then her abilities begin to show and she's exposed to a whole world hidden from humans.

Eli was born a Kaofi. Taught to kill. Raised a gentleman. Shown the horrors of what hunters do to his kind. Except when he realizes not all hunters grow up with the same views does his world take a turn for the worst.

On that fateful night when Eli throws Mya against a wall in the alley, she's ready to run and never look back. Until Eli turns out to be her upstairs neighbor... Now her focus lays on honing her new skills to become the hunter her parents never wanted her to be, which makes Mya is a target for Kaofi. To teach the hunters that they're no longer a threat, the Kaofi must kill Mya before she knows how to use her abilities.

But the shadows have been planning this war long before Mya and Eli decided to taint the natural order; and the worst part of it all? Shadows are the only Kaofi unable to be killed. Unfortunately for Mya, Eli has been a pawn in their little game for a while...
