The trouble with the Fallen is they look human. The Fallen are the children born affected by the Drakon, otherworldly beasts that arrived on a meteor and devastated Rosya in a decades-long war.

Now, as the nation heals and moves forward, a second conflict looms. This time the enemy is not the Drakon, but the Fallen, and the trouble is they look human.

Lena, once a marksman, was demoted after shooting her training instructor and now serves as a laundress at Bunker 47. Though the position isn't the career she'd hoped for, she finds peace in its routine.

. .

until she tries to help a friend and finds herself owing a favor to Captain Arkhimov. The captain is tall, imposing, a celebrated war hero, and a stickler for rules-everything Lena is not.

But when she ends up on a mission with him, she's excited nonetheless. The mission had been simple: go check on Bunker 17, which has gone dark.

But when the task turns lethal and the bodies begin to pile up, Lena learns the captain is not who he claims. 'The Way We Were Hunters' is a dark fantasy with a side of romance.

It is the first book of the Fallen Duology and comes with a content advisory for strong language, graphic violence, and intimate situations. Reader discretion is advised.
