Main Characters:
Emma Hale: A stubborn, fiercely independent young woman discovering the terrifying potential of her half-human, half-Ancient blood.
Adrian: A centuries-old vampire, former soldier, and Emma’s fiercely protective lover. His devotion is absolute, but he must learn that loving Emma cannot mean making her choices.

Author’s Note: This story explores the difference between being protected and being controlled, between desire and possession, and between the person others believe you are and the person you choose to become.
At its heart, Hunted is about a woman who refuses to surrender her identity, even when the world discovers how much her blood is worth.
Summary
Emma Hale survived the truth about what she is. Now she has to survive what that truth has made her worth. With her Ancient blood awakened and impossible to hide forever, Emma is no longer only being hunted by monsters—she is being studied, tracked, classified, and claimed by people who see her as a weapon, a bloodline, or a key to power. As Adrian, Liam, Scarlett, Kenji, Victor, and the others close ranks around her, every new attack proves that protection has a cost. But Emma refuses to spend her life hidden behind other people’s choices. She trains, pushes the limits of her abilities, and fights to understand where her own instincts end and the influence of her blood begins. The closer she gets to the truth, the more dangerous the people hunting her become—and some of them already know exactly which people she loves most. Her bond with Adrian deepens under pressure, but love cannot answer the question at the center of everything: Who gets to decide what Emma is? In Book Two of Ancient, survival becomes a hunt—and Emma may have to sacrifice her own freedom to keep the people she loves alive.
