Eighteen Crows

Feared by humans, disowned by vampires, hunted by hounds, prey to the wolves, and wanted dead By the church. What is a woman to do? Die, or thrive?  Roughly 112 years after her exile, Astrid, a Sovereign with no coven continues to navigate the world, evading hunters, meeting strangers, trying to shake off her ex  and doing what she can to 'live her best life'. Struggle was of little issue, in fact... the survival part was easy. Staving off the border and loneliness, however was not. Desperate for a burst of excitement that wasn't trying to stake or capture her, her unholy prayers are answered when a man enters her life. He's kind. Understands her. A bit brooding, but above all else... excites her.  All seemed fine, and then she learned he was a Hound, the very thing born specifically to hunt her kind, and even more interesting, facing the same life sentence as her. Two Predators bound by a shared, profound loneliness, and desire for love. What happens when your natural predator ends up being the thing you've sought after most?
