Series - Dark-Hunters
Hardcover

In the world of the Dark-Hunters, all hell's breaking loose . . . Stryker has sent word and is gathering his forces.

While the world carries on unawares, Stryker, who leads an army of demons and vampires, is plotting an all out onslaught against his enemies--which, unfortunately for us, includes the entire human race. To avenge his sister, Stryker prepares to annihilate the Dark-Hunters. But things go awry when his oldest enemy returns. Enter his ex-wife. Zephyra. Just when he thought nothing could stop him, he's now embroiled in a centuries old war with a shrew who gives new meaning to pain

Only it was never that simple. For centuries, he has fought for our survival and hidden a past he'll do anything to keep concealed. Until a lone woman who refuses to be intimidated by him threatens his very existence.

Now his survival, and ours, hinges on hers and old enemies reawaken and unite to kill them both.

War has never been more deadly... or more fun.

If you have followed the series you will have noticed a certain "bad guy" that has shown up a few times. That "guy" being Stryker. This is his story. Probably because I already had my mind set against him I couldn't get into this book as much as I would have liked. The writing is as always very well done. This book just reminds us to never judge a book by its cover.
