This series is perfect for readers who enjoy slow-burn romances. It includes vampires, witches, elemental magic and steamy scenes. Other tropes in the series include fated mates, past lives, kidnapping, a villain obsessed with the heroine, and forbidden love.
As his obsession grows, Maurice becomes more desperate. He won't stop until Mercy is his once again. But the hunted has become the hunter, ready for its prey.
Mercy is barely holding on after her coven was killed in an act of ultimate sacrifice. But beyond the veil of death, Caleb opens a path for Mercy to discover a source of ancient power that had revived her after her first death on Gallows Hill in 1692.
To find the magic she needs to resurrect her coven, Mercy and Dorian journey to a hidden island and uncover long-buried secrets from an ancient coven who practices magic with ties to beyond the grave. Mercy and Dorian's love grows stronger, and their destiny as fated mates becomes their power in a world rife with uncertainty.
Meanwhile, Maurice continues to plot his conquest of the human world. He'll not stop until every mortal is bowing to his will. While he toys with Mercy, his obsession grows to a dangerous level, and ultimately, it may be his undoing.
As Maurice's plans unfold, the worlds of magic will collide, and if Mercy and her allies don't stop him, the Devil will rise and consume them all in a world of shadow and fire.
"The perfect ending to the perfect story. Hunted is the masterful finale of Mercy's journey. Bloodcurdling, shocking, and hotter. D.L. Blade does not cease to amaze."
Laura M. Morales, editor of The Zorah Series

I'm D.L. Blade. I love everything paranormal, fantasy, and dark romance. As an author who started off writing young adult books, I decided that bringing the darker elements into my current writing was where my heart really was. I grew up in California, studying at the California Healing Arts College and working as a massage therapist for thirteen years and then real estate for three. I now live in Colorado, where I write full-time. As someone who had always enjoyed writing, concentrating on poetry and music rather than novels when I was younger, it all changed when I had a dream one night. That dream led to my debut novel in 2018: The Dark Awakening. That was the first book of a completed trilogy, which then led me to write the spicy, adult edition of the same story: Stalked, Taken, and Hunted. Aside from reading and writing, I enjoy hosting parties, going to concerts, wine tasting, and hanging out with my neighborhood besties in our cul-de-sac with a nice cold sangria. In the future, I hope to continue writing exciting novels that will captivate my readers and bring them into the world of twists and turns with all our favorite tropes!
