Damien, Vampire Hunter (Dhampir Vampire Hunter 20)

This stranger seems cut from the night sky—his garb is as dark as the space between the stars, his skin pale as moonlight. A wide-brimmed hat partially hides his face, but even so it’s impossible to ignore such striking features.

ABOUT

Damien seeks nothing less than the eradication of all vampirekind.

Imposing and aloof, he has a reputation as an unrelenting tracker and lethal swordsman. None can say how many vampires the hunter has killed, or why he pursues Nobles with a dedication beyond greed or a single act of revenge. He is a dark legend and a dire end to nightmares most hope never to have.

Damien is a figure of legend, but even the most remarkable reports travel slowly and have much competition in the arena of tall tales and taller terrors. Many travelers know of the dhampir bounty hunter, though, the killer who turns the Nobility’s own powers against them.

He charges extraordinary prices for his services, but it’s said that he’s worth every coin and has completed every contract he’s ever accepted. This isn’t to say he accepts every contract, though. Damien hunts for reasons besides money, and while he’s destiny-bound to strike against the Nobility, he’s honorbound to do so in keeping with his own strict, moral code.

Damien has no home and few friends. Those seeking to hire him have no clear course for doing so. Where he travels and how he decides what work to pursue are mysteries known only to him. But occasionally, a dark-clad stranger rides into a place plagued by despair and terror. In such a rare instance, the truly desperate and the truly deserving might have a hope of hiring Damien.
