The scarlet veil / Shelby Mahurin.

C�elie Tremblay has always been a good girl: kind and beautiful, a daughter of whom every parent would be proud. She surprises the entire kingdom when she defies tradition to become the first huntswoman--including her new captain and fianc�e, Jean Luc, who rules the huntsmen with an iron fist. He isn't the only one concerned for C�elie's safety, however. Though her friends try to protect her from the horrors of her past, mysterious whispers still haunt her, and a new evil is rising in Belterra--leaving bodies in its wake, each one drained of blood. Determined to prove herself in her new role, C�elie tracks the killer to the lair of Les �Eternels--ancient creatures only spoken about in nursery rhymes--and catches the attention of their king, a monster who hides his plans for her behind beautiful words and sharp smiles. Now C�elie has new reason to fear the dark because the closer he gets, the more tempted she feels to give in to his dark hunger--and her own.
