The Hunter's Blade (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781393115878)

Alexander 'Alex' Johnson, is an orphan who entered the prestigious Livingston Private Academy through the connections of his adoptive father. However, the students at the academy view him as a servant.

After transferring schools so many times, Validina has become a cold, quiet girl who has low expectations for this academy. Entering the classroom excites her blood to boil. A young man stares at her--the darkness inside her shivers as her heart flutters unexpectedly.

In the weeks that follow, Vali gets closer to him and Alex finds solace with her presence, but something inside him tingles with a warning. A deadly threat appears that throws both their lives upside down. Alex learns of his ancestry along with the truth that Vali has been keeping hidden.

The future of humanity and the underworld are in their hands. Vali must be protected and Alex is her only hope. He must learn the secrets of his obscure heritage and become--a Hunter.
