Hunted

On the hundredth anniversary of being turned into a vampire, Edith Dorset joins her adopted daughters and their friends at the Heartsong Clan's annual Live Action Role Play recruitment event where she meets an eager young man named Dan Paxton. His older brother and Hunter, Darren, thinks Dan's merely chaperoning a trip to a nerd convention, but has no idea he's partnered with vampires for the weekend. When Darren discovers Dan missing, he follows the only lead he has to the Heartsong Clan's residence on Tombstone Row. Edith and Darren's first meeting is uneasy because he lies his way into the Clan's house, claiming to be there to play on the side of humans. He's determined to keep his Hunter instincts in check, rescue his brother, and get it out of there. An impromptu late-night encounter leads Darren and Edith to come clean with each other about who and what they are. Edith longs to keep Darren and his brother close, although it goes against Clan rules, and Darren is finding it harder than he thought to snuff out Edith and her family. Darren and Edith grow closer as they seek out the truth from her Sire, Mr. Heartsong. While Darren uses all his Hunter skills to free his brother and be the hero, Mr. Heartsong banishes Edith from the Clan for her behavior towards Darren. No longer having Clan protection, Edith is faced with a terrible choice. Just as Darren returns with Hunter reinforcements, Heartsong and his Clan have vanished, along with Edith and her family. All that remains is a note from Edith, begging Darren to find them. And so, the hunt begins.
