Trapped in Moonlight
Eva Harlowe
Yanmei, a two-thousand-year-old vampire, is a creature of destruction. As an assassin for the Queen of the Vampires, she is in charge of population control, which means she kills any fangling unsanctioned by the council. Yanmei is also the executioner of misbehaving vampires. If a vamp offends the Queen three times, Yanmei takes him out. In an ongoing war with the werewolves, Yanmei is one of the Queen's top warriors. She succeeds in her endeavors because she doesn't get involved with vampires or humans. She avoids entanglements because they detract from the mission.
But when a male mortal named Sebastian catches her eye, she inadvertently puts a target on his back. She'd had no one to care for till now, so her enemies couldn't leverage anyone against her. When Sebastian is hurt during a skirmish with the wolves, Yanmei must decide if she should turn him or allow the wolf bite to infect him with lycanthropy so he wouldn't have to die. If she turned him, another hunter would destroy him. If he became a wolf, then he'd be her enemy. Sebastian pleads with her to let him die.
Meanwhile, an unknown third party is creating fanglings as though he were making an army and these young vampires are faster, smarter, and harder to kill. For the first time in centuries, Yanmei and her team of hunters struggle to put them down. They must protect the Queen at all costs before this shadow Usurper takes over and kills them all.
