Hunted: The brand new seductive vampire romance featuring a powerful vampire and a soul bond from Zara Cox for 2026

When your lines run dry, the sun shall rise upon your ruin.

The night her father offered her to the world’s most powerful vampire to settle a debt, Lyra Hannigan’s life turned to ash. Knowing he would come to claim her, one thing became certain: Lyra needed to disappear.

Six years later, Don Valentin Moretti, ruler of New York and one of the legendary Five Blood, is bound by an ancient curse. With his immortality at risk, his hunt for his elusive fated mate turns ruthless and deadly.

Eira Cross has built a life as the supernatural underworld’s bounty hunter, stitched together from secrets and sheer will. Careful. Untraceable. Untouchable. Until a summons drags her into Moretti’s Tower—and a vampire whose attention feels like a blade at her throat.

Valentin offers a bargain: help him find Lyra, and he’ll give Eira freedom. But as the hunt deepens, desire ignites, the line between hunter and prey blurs, and the truth surges closer. With the curse tightening its grip, time is running out. When loyalties detonate, the monster Eira feared most may be the only one who can save her…or destroy her.

HUNTED is Book 1 of a duology. CLAIMED delivers the HEA.
