The Hunting Grounds is a mystical place hidden somewhere on Earth. Connected to stone circles throughout the world, unsuspecting humans enter the Hunting Grounds where they are hunted by vampires or werewolves. If they survive 36 hours, they are given the choice to return home or to join those who had hunted them. Very few have survived to make the choice.

Jrulasii Fectoviar is fast approaching. Earth’s Chosen have gathered together and finally have a chance at victory. However, Kemuri feels that Earth needs more. When a pack of werewolves recently attacked the city of Poole, Kemuri and Sanya interfered. During that battle, Kemuri learned that Izak wanted to be freed from his pack and agreed to compete in the tournament if Kemuri could find a way to help him. Feeling Izak’s help was necessary, Kemuri now travels to the home of Lylah and Reaper. He offers to become one of the Hunted, with the condition of freeing Izak. Following a discussion, they agree and Kemuri enters the Hunting Grounds. Once there, he learns that he may be in more danger than he previously thought as he faces the best they have to offer. Events from his past come up in ways he could not have expected. The outcome of this Hunt will be felt for centuries. 

Failure to survive will cost his life. However, the price of victory may be even higher. And some prices… must be paid in blood.
