Damned Nicola Barber

Antonio would do anything for his beloved fighting partner, Jenn. He protects her, even suppresses his vampire cravings to be with her. Together, they defend humanity against the Cursed Ones. But tensions threaten to fracture their hunting team, and his loyalty--his love--is called into question.

Jenn, the newly appointed Hunter, aches for revenge against the Cursed One who converted her sister. And with an even more sinister power on the rise, she must overcome her personal vendettas to lead her team into battle.

Antonio and Jenn need each other to survive, but evil lurks at every turn. With humanity's fate hanging in the balance, they must face down the darkness...or die trying.

The hunters of Salamanca need a victory. Something that can make everyone feel like there's hope. My fighting partner, Antonio de la Cruz, says that I need to have faith. I wish I could have faith. But in this world, faith--like hope--is in very short supply.
