What happens when the Hunters are hunted? Malcolm Sinclair had once been a Dark Magic Hunter for the US Army. He was one of a few elite magic users who searched for and stopped those who used magic for evil. Hunters are highly trained specialists who always work alone-except for that one mission from many years ago. The mission that Malcolm worked hard to forget. A dark sorcerer had risen up with terrible powers. Magic so evil and strong that no one Hunter could stop him. Malcolm and five Hunters were sent to stop his plans before he could drench the world in blood and death. The mission had ended in pain and misery so horrible that it had physically and psychologically scarred the survivors. They had gone their own ways. Most eventually leaving the Army. Malcolm had sought retirement in the Bay Area where he could pursue his study of magic in peace. Now Malcolm has come home to find an old friend, a fellow Hunter from that long ago mission, lying badly injured and dying on his kitchen floor. His friend gasps out a name, a name of that long ago sorcerer who was back and stalking those who had brought him down. But there is a problem. Malcolm had killed the sorcerer. Detective Sergeant Lila Granger, Malcolm's ex-wife, is one of the top investigators on the police force who is always given the magical cases. So, when she was called in on the case of a dead Hunter, she knew that she had to call Malcolm for help. She never expected to be drawn into a case that would have her delving into the darkest of magic. To confront a horror from Malcolm's past, one that might take him from her just when they were starting to come together again. Can Malcolm and Lila uncover the secrets of the past in time to stop a sorcerer long thought dead before he can kill another Hunter? Before he can kill Malcolm?
