Description: [edit] [history]

Trust gets you killed, and so does black magic.

Just as 17-year-old Seth Blackwell triumphs over his rivals in the local fighting scene, he's faced with pain he's never felt before. Broken hearts heal nothing like broken bones.

In the aftermath, Seth becomes a darker version of himself and falls for the pretty, new girl — Nicole Bauer — who participates in a world of bloodsport which he'd previously refused to tape up for. Taking her hand, he dives headfirst into the carnage.

Seth hopes that dating Nicole will help him heal, but soon he discovers hidden truths about her. Not only is Nicole pretty, but she's also pretty dangerous, and now he's on the run. Lured into a dangerous hunt where he is the prey, the only choices that remain are those destined to leave blood on Seth's hands.

Enter a world of dark magic, where violent action is the only sure course of survival and no one is to be trusted.

The dull smack of bullets absorbed by ballistic plates resounded and Nicole leaned away from the door as return fire punched holes in the wall. Seth ducked."WAKE THE ACTUAL FUCK UP, YOU SLEEPY MOTHERFUCKER!"Everything went pitch black, blacker than pitch black. Seth lost any sense of orientation.Outside he heard one of the Hunters speak. "Nods down, boys.""Wait, why can't we see?""Oh, fu-"
